Liverpool Daily Post.co.uk - Features & Entertainment - The Beatles - Beatles News - Beatles housemate is all art:
"IMAGES of work by the man who painted Paul McCartney’s psychedelic Magic Piano have been put on display in a Liverpool bar.
Dudley Edwards, who has created murals for some of Britain’s most famous musicians, is exhibiting his art as part of Liverpool Music Week.
The show, at 3345 Parr Street, includes photographs that have not been on display for four decades.
Edwards said: “Musicians and artists in London at the time all knew each other. It wasn’t unusual that I should know the Beatles.
“It was an exciting time because young people all wanted to do their own thing.”
A member of pioneering pop art collective BEV, Edwards helped paint the brightly coloured shop fronts on Carnaby Street and Kings Road that became synonymous with 1960s Swinging London.
He also decorated the psychedelic Buick that appeared on the cover of the Kinks album Sunny Afternoon as well as a Cobra sports car for Guinness heir Tara Browne, who would later die in a car crash."
