FLOATING ISLANDS by Roger Dean


Posted by KOAN on September 18, 2007 11:30 AM | Email


Big ups to Adam on the new site. Rather then a tester of Lorem Ipsum lets straight into it, balls and all.....



Roger Dean is an art legend. A pioneer in the world of fantasy art, a totaly tripper. News is, he's making a film.

 

His beautifully rendered landscapes were always a favorite of mine when i was a youngun and probably paved the way for allot of experimental drug use, still to this day he remains one of my favourite artists, particularly for the box art for the early psygnosis titles, and the dude practically invented the use of gradient fills in fantasy fonts. Something we all owe him for.

At the studio tonight following a distracting couple of hours of Jagi playing an emulated Shadow of the Beast 2 in the background while i was trying to work, I thought I’d check out what the artist is currently working on, found some good news.

Turns out he's currently developing the story that is imbedded in the 'Yes' album covers into a feature film, the 90 minute feature will be a combination of real action and 3d animation and will feature backing music by 'Yes'. What more could you ask for?

Development funding is being raised through the sale of limited print and artwork.

Check Roger Dean official site for more details.

Nice
