Happy 84th birthday, Johnny boy! Hopefully Paul won’t get you a burger as a present… again
Test art test art test art I know this one looks shitty
I used the B4DD1E green for John’s shirt cuz why not
Paul as Lucy (in the sky with diamonds)
Idk what I really meant with this drawing… I was just challenging myself to draw without doing a sketch, and of course, trying those retro letter fonts on.
From the series: artworks that I’m probably never going to finish.
✨VAMPIRE PAUL✨
I know George’s our vampire bug, but I kinda got obsessed with this idea and wanted the others to be vampires too, this one was supposed to be John btw, but Paul came out
It was a quick one. Hope y’all like it

In October 1957 the Quarrymen performed one of their very first gigs in the New Clubmoor Hall, Paul unfortunately froze during his first guitar solo:
"For my first gig, I was given a guitar solo on ‘Guitar Boogie’. I could play it easily in rehearsal so they elected that I should do it as my solo. Things were going fine, but when the moment came in the performance I got sticky fingers; I thought, ‘What am I doing here?’ I was just too frightened; it was too big a moment with everyone looking at the guitar player."

Just a few weeks after this, Len Garry gives us an account where Paul seems to be pepping himself up pre-performance:
"Tonight will run just like clockwork. I am going to give the audience the best rendition of 'Guitar Boogie' that they have ever heard this side of Garston."
"Hey this is a new twist." I said, "Paul just cracked a joke he must have a sense of humour after all. John, shall we have him in the group?"
John was enjoying the banter as ever.
"Yeah, we'll give him another try and if you don't get it right this time Jimmy...", Jimmy was Paul's middle name, "then..." John waited to see the expression on Paul's face, "then we'll..", again a pause, by this time we were hanging on John's next words, " ...then....we'll have to send him for some more guitar lessons!"
Paul joined in the laughter and we were all back to normal.
