Discover the art of Paul Driessen, Cartoon Brew's Artist of the Day!

The post Artist of the Day: Paul Driessen appeared first on Cartoon Brew.

The great Dutch shorts director turns 75 years old today and he's not slowing down one bit.

Artist Tom Whalen has designed a set of four Beatles posters, using their likness and characters from the animated feature Yellow Submarine (1968). We’ve showcased Whalen’s Looney Tunes, Peanuts and Gigantor limited edition tributes before – I’m a big fan.

Dark Hall Mansion is releasing this officially licensed Beatles project, a 4-print interlocking Limited Edition set – John, Paul, George and Ringo – in both “standard” (above) and “psychedelia” (below, click thumbnails to enlarge). There will only be 200 of each edition produced, both editions go one sale precisely at 9:30 AM PST at Dark Hall Mansion’s online Store on February 12th, 2013.

More information can be found on these and other editions available at Dark Hall Mansion.

Complete Press Release below:

Dark Hall Mansion working closely with Live Nation Merchandise, The Beatles’ North American Licensing Agent, and Apple Corps Ltd will release their new Beatles limited edition screen print set of 4 by leading contemporary artist, Tom Whalen, on February 12, 2013. This exclusive 4-print set stunningly showcases The Beatles unmistakable personas amongst the abstracted milieu of ’60s Pop culture and the landmark film that is “Yellow Submarine.” The 4 prints measure 24″ x 30,” each, and were beautifully composed and designed to work individually or as an interlocked whole when displayed.

Tom Whalen’s 4 new Beatles prints make a striking impression, particularly when viewed as a single quadtych, one meant to artistically render and underscore the personalities of The Beatles themselves. Each print will be individually numbered, 24″ x 30″ in size, and exquisitely screen printed. With an extremely limited release of only 200 sets available worldwide for all Beatles fans, it’s an edition for even the most discerning Beatles collector.

There will also be a very select Psychedelia Edition, limited to just 50 sets worldwide with each print individually signed by artist Tom Whalen and printed with shimmering metallic inks that intensely set off the designs and nuances of his highly stylized artwork.

Both Editions go one sale precisely at 9:30 AM PST at Dark Hall Mansion’s online store on February 12, 2013.Pricing will be $200 for the entire 4-print Standard Edition and $300 for the entire 4-print Psychedelia Artist Signed Edition.

I remember this, vaguely. My parents not being Beatles fans and generally disapproving of anything psychedelic or 'weird', I often missed out seeing cool stuff like, oh, anything to do with the Beatles (although they did let me have an Abbey Road album, but which I had to go listen out in the garage.) This was also in the days way before VCRs or youtube, so if you didn't see the thing in the theater when it first played, you had to wait until it came 'round again.
I did see the movie, eventually, of course, but don't know if I ever really saw this trailer.

But I digress. This is very cool. And I was sad to learn that the artist who created the whole Yellow Submarine 'look' and art has passed. His name was Heinz Edelmann. I confess I never knew who did all that art, but I've always loved it.

How young "the lads" look in this!
