The Wicked Beatles

It was 4am. I took another bite of my peanut butter sandwich. Munch, munch.

I had to finish 10 illustrations of the Beatles by 3pm, and I was fu - I mean stuck, on what should have been the simplest of decisions. I couldn't decide what colour to paint their faces. Skin colour? you might ask with one eyebrow raised. Yes but I'd already used brown and yellow. And the whole top half was orange. and I didn't want too many warm colours (coz that might upset the balance of the universe) but I'd already used my blues and purples......... and that is how I ended up picking green

And now they look like wannabe Wicked Witch of the West's

The Wicked Beatles (John, Paul, George and Ringo as Elphaba Thropp....) John, Paul, George and Ringo as floating Elphaba Thropp heads....

my colour picking skills need some work

Poster for wicked the musicalElphaba and Glinda from Wicked...do you see the resemblance

Lol and I'm not sure what sort of creative inspiration I was expecting from my sandwich. For the record, it didn't really do much. apart from taste good, that is
