Nothing Is Real | Ruan van Vliet

The Beatles mean a lot to me so I found it hard to zero in on one idea at first. I drew 100 things and started to pile them together in a similar style to my recent sketchbook collages, I got too deep into that. Made a big mess. I sent it to a friend who's hot with The Beatles AND Design. He was very helpful, he said "I think it's cool!!". Later, he sent me Tadanori Yokoo's Beatles collages, which I hadn't seen before but I knew right away I had to simplify the whole thing, I started stripping away each element until I was left with only two; the lads and a field. I thought, "that looks good now, that's a nice f**king print!".
