Yellow Submarine Mural


The Beatles' Yellow Submarine animation is one of my FAVORITE animations of all time!  I painted a mural of it in the bathroom of my co-op, with some help of my friend/housemate Laura Nichols, in fall 2007. This section of the mural was influenced by the "sea of science" part, when the sub diffuses into pieces like a checkerboard.

Laura drew most of this corner part and painted some.  I painted the rest and added stuff.


Go watch the animation NOW if you've never seen it!  My favorite part of the movie is when they meet the Nowhere Man - he's SO cute!!  (It's clip 6).  When they sing "Nowhere Man" I especially love the timing of movement, and how the images compliment the song and are downright SPIFFY - check out the perspective when they spin on the record.  And I wish a trail of plants grew wherever I walked!  

animatedly yours
