The Royal Mail has issued a series of Beatles stamps. One portrait stamp and several album cover stamps makes up the collection. Album covers featured include Help!, Abbey Road, Revolver, Let it Bee and Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. Hard to believe this is the first time the Beatles have appeared on a stamp.

The famous Barrett Jackson classic car auction got underway yesterday. And while I’m sure you’ll find us posting on some of this years notable autos, the first thing that caught our eye wasn’t a car. Barrett Jackson has expanded the auction to include Rock n’ Roll memorabilia. There’s the standard stuff like artist signed guitars and gold records, but more interesting is artist artwork. A signed drawing from John Lennon done in 1967 sold yesterday for $19,550. A watercolor of a bird, painted by Lennon at the age of 11, fetched $60,375.

Ridiculous you say? Perhaps, but clearly it shows the Beatles legacy is still alive and very profitable. A slew of other Beatles memorabilia is up for auction.

The Speed channel is covering the event with daily programming. Check here for the complete schedule. The line up of Barret Jackson’s Rock n’ Memorabili can be found here.

As proof that the truly creative of the world can use just about any medium to create we offer up the art of the Latte. Kind of an interesting liquid medium, and even better you can drink it when you’re finished. Try doing that working with oils.
