‘Yellow Submarine’ Graphic Designer, Dies at 75

The man responsible for the look of the Beatles animated movie, The Yellow Submarine, has died:

Heinz Edelmann, the multifaceted graphic designer and illustrator who created the comically hallucinogenic landscape of Pepperland as art director for the 1968 animated Beatles film “Yellow Submarine,” died on Tuesday in Stuttgart, Germany. He was 75.

I never found the landscape of the movie to be hallucinogenic - it just seemed to follow a cartoony logic all its own. But seeing this reminds me that the girls' might enjoy seeing the movie.


It's been years since I've seen it. I'd enjoy seeing it again, too.
