One hundred years ago, composer, arranger and producer The Beatles, George Martin, was born

«They did flower, they blossomed, and they astonished me with their ideas. Each song they brought to me was a gem, and I said to myself, ‘It can’t last.’ I’d say to them, ‘That’s great, now give me a better one.’ And they did. I was so thrilled with what they gave me»

George Martin about The Beatles

— It was George Martin who wrote original arrangements for the animated film «Yellow Submarine» 1968, which was especially praised by music critics

I caved and made a new yellow submarine character.

This is Wellie and she does the welding maintenance on the many colorful submarines of Pepperland. Her hair usually isn’t so bright more often being covered in dust and soot.

I tried to lean more into the style of the movie(then I got bored and added a bunch of my own stuff). But she’s been through a LOT of revisions with her color palette(she was hot pink at one point)

(Art commissions available)

My tired arse rn was just scrolling on tumblr before the thought popped into my brain "What happened AFTER Yellow Submarine ended?" What if there was a behind the scenes of Yellow submarine but instead of a behind the scenes on how the film was made but a behind the scenes in pepperland.

A look at everyday life for the Yellow Submarine Beatles and the people of Pepperland. Now THAT would be something

The Dictionary of Imaginary Places

PEPPERLAND, a country eighteen thousand leagues beneath the Sea of Green, approached through the Sea of Holes.

Travellers will immediately notice that the keynote of Pepperland is colour; features of the landscape include hills of all colours, thick forests of painted trees where many-hued birds and butterflies abound, and rolling parkland. The inhabitants dress in bright colours and rainbows are frequent. There are no towns or cities in Pepperland, indeed few buildings of any sort; social life centres around the bandstand, for all Pepperlanders are players and lovers of music.

Pepperland was originally colonized, four scores and thirty-two bars ago, by Sgt. Pepper and his Lonely Hearts Club Band, who arrived in a yellow submarine (which can be seen today set on top of a pyramid). The present ruler (called "The Leader") is the Lord Mayor, a musician and conductor; he is assisted by Young Fred, a valiant Pepperlander.

Petrified mountain spires along the borders surround Pepperland; here lived the Blue Meanies whose chief aim was to overcome Pepperland by turning it and its inhabitants blue and grey. Led by their chief and his aide, Max, and using as their principal weapon the Flying Glove, the Blue Meanies attacked the country. Young Fred was dispatched in the yellow submarine to Liverpool, England, to persuade a group of four musicians, known with nostalgic affection as The Beatles, to return with him to Pepperland. The Blue Meanies, overcome by the Beatles' music, were driven off to Argentina, and Pepperland was restored to its colourful self.
