A Tribute to The Beatles '65 Print by David O'Keefe

David's Inspiration

"My "Beatles 65" is loosely based on a photo of the Beatles performing live on the Ed Sullivan Show in September 1965. The year before they had made history with three Sullivan appearances in a row. This time their hair was a little longer and the last song they sang was "Help"! The stage was decorated with big circles inside of square boxes and they were in that traditional stance with John on the right, Paul and George on the left and Ringo in the back."

  • All prints come signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.
  • 28x19 giclee on watercolor paper print

SHIPPING TIMES:

Prints may take up to 2 weeks to ship, and some canvas Giclee' may take longer.

About David O'Keefe Master Sculptor and Passionate Painter

Raised on Hollywood, sports and rock and roll music, David O'Keefe has an acute awareness for the images and personalities that have colored the lives of his generation. He just sees things differently - more intensely, edgier, somewhat more perspicuous than the average spectator. The pop culture icons that we idolize, glamorize and glorify, O'Keefe visualizes for us in all their humanness as well as their stardom.

An editorial illustrator for over 25 years, O'Keefe began his art career at The Tampa Tribune as a promotion artist, dabbled in editorial cartooning under mentor, Wayne Stayskal, and spent several years as the Special Project's Illustrator for the newsroom. His sardonic caricatures and humorous illustrations have appeared on the covers of Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Mad Magazine, The Village Voice and within the pages of TIME. His advertising clients include Coca-Cola, WaffleHouse, Fuji and SunCom Communications.

In 2007, David left his day job to pursue his passion of painting and sculpting pop culture icons. O'Keefe's work is transformative, capturing not just the likeness of his subjects, but their personalities as well. He has recently released an epic depiction of the characters from The Godfather and of the entire I Love Lucy cast. His company, David O'Keefe Studios, distributes his work through galleries across the country and in Europe. David O'Keefe Studios also operates a solo gallery on St. Armand's Circle in Sarasota, Florida.

O'Keefe's work has won numerous awards from such organizations as The Society of Illustrators (NY and LA), American Illustration, Communication Arts, National Headliner Awards, Dimensional Illustrators, and the Society of News Design.

He considers himself blessed to pursue his dream and finds great joy in his work and in his family. O'Keefe currently resides in the Tampa Bay Area with his wife, Janice and their four children.
