Description Yet another (welcome) addition to my album crossover collection. For an unprecedented third time, I am honoring the Beatles (with Abbey Road being the specific subject); I am also returning to a previously visited topic, Team Fortress 2, in this work.

This piece was made at the request of Badonk, one of my good friends and a fine artist himself. What spurred this commission is uncertain, but I suppose that is of little relevance now that my labors have been completed.

Although I did struggle somewhat in creating this (there were many things which I had to either augment or eliminate, such as John Lennon's coat and the hair of all four Beatles), I nevertheless had quite a bit of fun in doing so; the finished product turned out rather nicely, leaving me very satisfied.

As the Beatles are one of my all-time favorites bands, I expect to return to them again some day soon; I would not be surprised if I eventually utilize every Beatles record, I enjoy them so much. Team Fortress 2 will likely be touched upon once again in a future (possibly imminent) piece, but we will see; I've quite a few ideas on my slate at the moment.

Team Fortress 2 is the creation of Valve Software; any names, places, items, or characters associated with it are the property of that company. Abbey Road is the work of the Beatles; as such, it belongs to the members of that group as well as their record label, Apple Corps. The idea of juxtaposing the two is my sole invention.

Comments are greatly appreciated.

P.S. I would like to take this opportunity to offer my apologies to the commissioner of this great work, Badonk, for my inability to incorporate the Spy into this piece, as was his request; I sincerely hope that his absence will not detract from your viewing experience.

Lol. I was thinking that there should have been a payload parked on the sidewalk, but that would take too much work. Keep up the good work man. These are great.
