The Bottles

At one point in the “The Beatles: Get Back” documentary, John Lennon says, “And now, your host for this evening, the Bottles.” I collect blue glass bottles, along with a few bottles of other colors, too, and just couldn’t resist making this image with four of the bottles in my collection and then playing around with different types of processing.

This is the original photo

With the cartoonizer process applied

With the aquarelleum process applied

With the crazy painting process applied

With the virtuoso process applied

With the mixart process applied

At first, I tried to make the logo using the original Beatles logo and modifying it in photoshop. And then I thought that with all the Beatles fans out there in the world, someone had probably created a true type font that matched the original logo, so I looked; sure enough, someone had! The true type font name is called “Bootle”. The Bootle true type font is freeware, so I downloaded it and installed it. Pretty cool!
