I'm currently on the lookout for a decent Beatles print or original artwork to take pride of place on my wall at home. Whilst searching for something suitable I got to thinking whether any forum members have owned/own any Beatle artwork? Do any members draw or paint pictures of the band? Maybe you know a good Rock/ Beatle Artist worth taking a look at! If so, why not share your Beatle or Beatle related art with the rest of the forum, plus if you feel like it show us what's hanging up on your wall at home! I'll start off with these beauties, these are genuine works of art currently available to buy on Ebay, any thoughts?

I remember one time, about ten years ago, I was in this Arts & Crafts store and high up on the wall they had a Beatle B&W charcoal drawing probably 24x36 in a beautiful frame for $250 and it had a half off red tag on it for $125. I almost bought it, but didn't have anywhere to put it. lol It was a drawing of this pic, but b&w charcoal. Very striking! I should have bought it dammit! www.allposters.com/-sp/The-Beatles-Group-3-D-Lenticular-Music-Poster-Print-Posters_i8758690_.htm

I'm a real sucker when it comes to Beatle artwork and the like, I've got loads of stuff sitting Idle here and there but I don't have the heart to get rid of any of it (even if some of it is pretty awful) Here in the meanwhile are some more Beatle works of art currently available to buy on Ebay

Wow...they're great pictures, I especially like the way she's drawn the Beatles hair like Klaus Voormann did on the 'Revolver' album cover. I think one of the best Beatle artists out there at the moment is 'Shannon'. Her work can be found in the Cavern and also the 'Hard Days Night Hotel' where one of her paintings can be found in each room. I stayed there a couple of months ago and found this beauty hanging over my bed... In the restaurant of the hotel you can find these paintings by the artist Paul Ygartua who attended Liverpool college of Art with John Lennon and his first wife Cynthia

About 15 years ago I commissioned a friend of a friends Dad to paint/ draw these 2 portraits of John Lennon. It cost me £50 at the time, but Looking back I'm not sure who got the better deal?!

You can find this Beatle mural, in which John's face is obscured by an apple (a la' Rene Magritte), when heading toward the underground at Lime Street station.

Hey Ringo, yeah it's a very short clip, or snippet even, of the Beatles Rockband promo trailer from a few years back. John, Paul, George and Ringo are actually sat atop the head of something akin to the Hindu God Ganesh. It's a pretty cool watch if you haven't already seen it ...

I think Riingo was just mocking a former governor of Texas.

This Yellow Submarine artwork currently adorns the construction hoardings that surround the former site of the Memorial Hall in Northwich, Cheshire after it was sadly demolished late last year. A nice touch I thought....until I spied the info next to John's picture which states, "The Beatles brought cheers five times in two years"..... A quick search on google shows that they actually brought cheers SIX times in two years, shame on you Northwich council!!!
