Heinz Edelmann

Yellow Submarine art direction and character design by Heinz Edelmann. No dedicated website, unfortunately. XTC (among others) swiped the style for the sleeve of their excellent 1989 album, Oranges & Lemons.

Update: Edelmann is ambivalent about being known as the Yellow Submarine designer but he talked to Baltimore’s 21st Century Radio about working on the film here. And the same site has a look at the film’s production process.

They wanted to use Hey Bulldog in the movie Yellow Submarine, but it didn’t make the cut. When the film was re-released in 1999, the scene with this was included.

Hey Bulldog is is big favourite of mine. Lennon doing his snarly rock’n'roll thing with a great piano groove.
