John Lennon was a member of The Beatles, arguably the world's most popular band.  They invented the term superstar and went on to revolutionize not only music sonically but the way that it was recorded and even how it was perceived by those who listened to it.  John Lennon was a man, and he felt the need to share his strengths and weaknesses and happiness and insecurities with the rest of the world in the hopes it might make it a little better place, or teach someone something - at least make them stop and think.  So on what would have been John's 70th birthday I chose to draw this as I share many of the same hopes and dreams.  I was looking for a way to help remember this amazing man and his legacy, I found it and so can you.
