I remember as a schoolboy being told by artist Roger Dean that Chris Ross’s SF book covers, featuring enormous space ships, were actually pictures of Vaccuum Cleaners, Irons, and things you’d find around the house. (Also being told by Roger that Chris Foss could indeed draw people and had illustrated The Joy of Sex.) Which meant I could never again see a Chris Foss spaceship without imagining it in a kitchen.
Hello
I am just ecstatic to see Roger Dean mentioned in the wild. He is one of the most influential artists in terms of my childhood and inspiring me to create art, and why my abstract art looks the way it does ever since my dad gave me an artbook of his.
Yet almost no one seems to know who he is…and omg not only is someone actually mentioning Roger Dean, that someone is @neil-gaiman 0.0
(And Infeel obligated to show of some of Roger Dean’s amazing art)
It hadn’t even occurred to me that anyone wouldn’t know who Roger Dean is.
