Beatles 'Yellow Submarine' as you've never seen it: new limited art folios

Officially licensed limited edition folios with specially commissioned new artwork based on the Beatles' film "Yellow Submarine" will be available from Dark Hall Mansion starting in May.The images in the folios were done by artist Tom Whalen. The company says this is the first time the Beatles have allowed a contemporary artist to reinterpret the film in art prints. Dark Hall Mansion says the print folios in the three different variations have been in the works for over a year. They were developed through an agreement with Live Nation Merchandise, the Beatles' North American Licensing Agent, and the Beatles' Apple Corps Ltd.
