John Lennon’s Naughty Drawings of Yoko Sell for 50 Grand

John Lennon

A signed catalogue of pictures John Lennon drew of Yoko Ono (most of them quite risque), has sold for a whopping $50,000.  John had signed this catalogue for his The Bag One exhibition in 1972 for American journalist Sandra Shevey when she interviewed the couple for 12 hours in New York.  London police had originally seized these drawings back in January, 1970 on the second day of their exhibition, specifiically because of their naughty nature.  John had drawn these pics and compiled the photo album as a gift to Yoko to celebrate their wedding and honeymoon.

The lucky man (depending on how you look at it) who bought this catalogue is a British antiques dealer and Beatle fan, Tony Barnes, who says this…

“Lennon is one of the most famous names in the world, as well as being a pioneer of modern music. I have bought it to share with my children.”

Man, are his children in for a rude awakening.  I hope they don’t mind seeing John and Yoko’s private parts!
