Via the BBC:
Drawings created by John Lennon for what some believe was the world's first rock music video have gone on display in a museum.
The pop art images, which Lennon worked on with artist Stephen Verona, were used in a promotional film to accompany The Beatles hit I Feel Fine in the 1960s.
The 240 drawings were sold by Christie's at auction for more than $58,000 in 2000 before being separated.
Ten of them have now gone on public display at Liverpool Beatles Museum after being spotted by collector Joseph O'Donnell, from Tynemouth, at an auction.
..."Each artwork features a different word from the song and I was able to piece them together to make a full sentence."
Lennon collaborated with American artist and filmmaker Verona, who died in 2019, after a chance meeting in a London nightclub.
In a later interview, Verona said the two of them sat at the kitchen table of his Manhattan apartment to colour in the images using felt tip markers, while smoking.
