Beatles Wives on Self Help

inspired by paperback book covers of the 60s and 70s, here’s a little graphic design project i’ve been working on pondering the question: what kind of self-help(esque) books would have been useful to the beatles WAGs circa 1968 - then creating them as if they had written them theirselves.

#just a bit of fun but i thoroughly enjoyed incorporating little references and jokes as i did them#the mclennon goggles are on pretty heavily but even if you aren’t into them i hope you still get a laugh out of these#the beatles#beatles fan art#mclennon#john and paul#paul mccartney#john lennon#george harrison#jane asher#cynthia lennon#maureen starkey#pattie boyd#ringo starr#beatles rpf#beatles wives#graphic design#graphic design is my passion#< ​semi-ironically 😭

“It was widely believed that Lennon’s relationship with McCartney was at its lowest point at this time, but Van Scyoc {Gary Van Scyoc, bassist on Some time in NYC, 1972} saw ample evidence that this simply wasn’t the case. “You would read in the New York Post that they were at each other’s throats. I had a copy of the paper in my kit bag, and as I walk into the session, John is on the phone with Paul in Scotland for an hour-and-a-half and they’re yakking it up. That doesn’t really sound like two people who are at each others throats, does it?”

too many people IS so much meaner than how do you sleep in hindsight bc hdys is just a group project of “let’s write the most clever rhyming couplets we can about how paul sucks” but too many people is paul smiling as he leans in to whisper into john’s ear that “you may think you’re hot shit now but i’m going to come out of this so much happier and more successful than you will ever be and you will wake up to realize you ruined your own life.” and wouldn’t you know that’s exactly what happened. can’t you just imagine that song haunting john as he sat in the dakota during the late 70s, cursing his writer’s block and deciding to throw paul with his guitar out of the house rather than concede that he had been right?

thinking about the time the girl i was unrequitedly in love with asked me to go to a yoko ono exhibit with her because she knew i’m a big beatles fan and i did go and actually had a great time but the whole time all i could think was wherever john is he must be eating this up right now

#i’m not gonna lie this keeps me up at night sometimes#SPECIFICALLY her wanting to do fucking BAGISM with me !!!!!!!#y’know. the one where you step into this giant bag in the middle of the room and then strip naked and then put all your clothes back on#i genuinely wonder how the course of my life would be different if we had done that 😭😭
