Description This was the most honored Graphic Design project everyone always looks forward to. You pick a famous person and surround them by their own quotes.

Everybody was so excited, guessing who would draw which person. Everyone immediatly said, "Oh, you're doing JOHN LENNON." When I told them I was doing George, they actually asked who he was...

GOD. George is so underappreciated, damn it! That's why I worked so hard on this. Note that I really don't do fonts well, so this was kind of hard for me. Not to mention that George is kind of akward to draw, despite him being hot as hell. I might upload a better cut and/or bigger picture later, and some detail shots.

Other considerations besides George were Lewis Carroll or Danny Elfman, actually.

Used sharpie, white-out, papermate markers.
All Lyrics and quotes (c) George Harrison

Edit: Actually, I got a lot of comments on this piece from a lot of adults who saw this displayed in our school's Art Fair. I even got an offer from a teacher who wanted to buy it! But George isn't going anywhere. The only person I'd ever give it to is maybe George's family, a Beatle, or George Martin.

adoreplz. I agree. In the mainstream, George is often thrown to the side. Personally, he's the cutest, and his wit is smexy.

''What do you call that hairstyle?"
"Arthur."

The detail in this picture is just spot on.
Beautiful job.

I this! I love the drawing...and the quotes are lovely. My favorites being...'life flows on within you and without you' and 'You don't realize how much I need you.' I love that song. The songs in Help! were all fantastic. GEORGE IS THE BEST.

(Well...Ringo is my favorite. BUT WHAT. EVER. George is still hot and awesome. Rawr.)

Aww! I'm so glad you like it- and actually, those are probably my favorite quotes as well. Although I'm very partial to "The Beatles will go on without us." Oh, how I love Georgie.

Those people are uncultured swines. Oink oink.

That's like me, if I'm doing something, they'd probably say 'Oh, who's that John Lennon?' 'Beatles suck!' 'They're dead!'

Ohmybob luff.

Ink is hard to work in, especially in stippling; good for you!

I love the words part: you did a great job with the fonts, and my favorite parts are the "om" sun design and the dark horse--Was that hard to do so small?

Also, George looks GREAT. I agree, he can be very difficult to draw (Which is why my alla prima painting of him for Painting class looke awful; I got his mouth all wrong), but you did an awesome job.

Aww, thank you so much! I wasn't terribly confident on those fonts, so that's quite reassuring.

George's hotness is hard to capture on paper, that's for sure. But you've done a pretty good job.

LePipsqueak [2007-04-12 04:43:00 +0000 UTC]

Utterly awesome...the stippling effect, the different fonts (which you did GREAT)...OH, man--I just love everything!

You better get an A+ on this, dash it all!

...and, omg, they ACTUALLY ASKED who George was?! wtf, seriously. D8<

GAH! Thank you so muchhh, you are too flattering! X)

Oh, you'd be so very surprised as to how uncultured these people are! I'm the last person you'd want to ask, "Who the hell is that?" to, because my head would asplode in fury.
