Ever since their debut, the Beatles have managed to stay relevant in pop culture and these Dubossarsky and Vinogradov paintings which re-imagine the fab four's infamous Abbey Road cover are sure to please art and music fans alike.
The Dubossarsky and Vinogradov illustrations picture each Beatles member as an everyday pedestrian. It's actually quite hilarious to see George Harrison's attire blend in so well with modern hipsterwear. I'm most impressed with Dubossarsky and Vinogradov's ability to incorporate so little detail, but still managing to capture a realistic likeness of each Beatle member and surrounding environments.
Implications - Consumers are constantly finding ways to re-interpret their beloved products as it offers them a way to express their fan dedication. Corporations can similarly demonstrate fan appreciate for a product or media figure in order to strengthen and build new customer relations.
