Description
Q: How are the Beatles like a deck of cards?A: They have four suits.
Fabruary #6!
All hand-inked with random pens/markers I scrounged together to match the color palette of the traditional face cards I based them on.
Behold, a plethora of references:
JOHN LENNON
Rickenbacker electric guitar
Hand signal for peace activism
Little diamonds for "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Across the Universe"
Kite tail motif for "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!"
GEORGE HARRISON
Sitar
Sun motif for "Here Comes the Sun"
India hand pose from Richard Avedon's psychedelic portraits
RINGO STARR
Drumsticks
Wave motif for "Octopus's Garden" and "Yellow Submarine"
Ring from Help! movie
PAUL MCCARTNEY
Hofner bass guitar
"Blackbird"
Heart for all those love songs
And then of course they're all in their Pepper suits from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, each with a lil flower power.
Giving all of them those hooded eyes from the playing card style kind of just made them look high...but eh that works.

You're welcome!!
And yeah, probably, lol!
Maybe there could be some of the characters from their songs in the deck as well? Such as Lucy or Jude? Or maybe even the Octopus and his garden?
