I personally could never figure out how or why she was the inspiration for two of the greatest songs in rock history, Something and Layla.
Kilimnik, Patti Boyd (Soon to be Mrs George Harrison), 2000
From db-artmag
The title motif of our catalogue — Karen Kilimnik’s drawing Patti Boyd (soon to be Mrs. George Harrison) — captures such a moment that crystallizes all these expectations. The car draws up, and the bride-to-be gazes out into a barrage of flashbulbs. Despite knowing today that Mrs. Harrison would also one day become Mrs. Clapton, we still cannot resist wishing—as we do the young couple standing in the courtyard of the Singapore Art Museum and looking optimistically into the future — All the best!
Wicked.
However, if you’ve been smitten with Patti Boyd since A Hard Day’s Night, as George was, do check out All the Best. The Deutsche Bank Collection and Zaha Hadid at the Singapore Art Museum from now till 20 November 2006.

For a moment there, I thought you drew that piece! BTW, some coding error — the entire para is hyperlinked.

Oh I meant the whole para to be hyperlinked, i.e., two different links for db-mag and for the actual write up as well. Thanks!
