R there other Band/Artist cooperative combinations like the Yes/R.Dean collaboration?

[zutul]

Kim poor for Steve Hackett
Daevid Allen for Gong and his own solo stuff

[dgtlman]

The Flower Kings were hooked on that Hippified Art thing for a while

[Bucka001]

Paul Ridout - cover artist/designer for Peter Hammill / Van der Graaf Generator (millennial edition)

[Oreb]

Tangerine Dream & Monique Froese

[Man In The Mountain]

Hippified Art is Roine Stolt.

[dgtlman]

Hippified Art is Roine Stolt.

Well there ya go! Didn't know that.

[dropforge]

Tangerine Dream & Monique Froese

[Scrotum Scissor]

Hippified Art is Roine Stolt.

As a musician he's some distance par his purported idols, and as "art designer" he's certainly no Rick Griffin or Stanley Mouse or Alton Kelley.

Neurosis has always had a "visual artist" who was credited as a full member of the band who would do album covers and provide visual backings for their shows. For a while, it was Josh Graham who went on to form Red Sparowes and then A Storm of Light, both of whom he also did the visuals for. I saw ASoL a few years back and the visuals were a pretty integral part of the show

[SymfoZone]

Klaatu/Ted Jones. Most of them, anyway.

[PeterG]

Patrick = Gerry Rafferty/Stealers Wheel
Alfreda Benge = Robert Wyatt

And although not the subject of this thread, famously Joni Mitchell and Neil Young have painted many of their own album covers

[Adrian]

Astra has used Arik Roper for both of their album covers so far -- The Weirding and The Black Chord -- to great effect. His art is a perfect match for the music, much like Dean was for Yes in their prime.

[Gunter]

Grant Hart did almost all the Husker Du album covers

[dropforge]

Lest I forget, Emerald Web licensed paintings by Bruce Ricker for four of their albums, Valley of the Birds, Nocturne, Lights of the Ivory Plains and Dreamspun, and the compilation Traces of Time.

The painting used for the Nocturne cover.

I don't think Rush has worked with anyone except Hugh Syme going back to 1975's Fly By Night album.

Same year, but Caress of Steel was his first.

[trurl]

God forbid Hugh was responsible for FBN! That's one of the most heinous covers ever, imo

[dropforge]

Hoot! Hoot!

[Rarebird]

Everon and Gregory Bridges, except North

I don't know. I kind of like it. I like most of Hugh's Rush covers. Maybe my least favorite front covers are Hold Your Fire and Counterparts, but the I really like the rest of the art on each of those. Seems like they went for simplicity on each of those for the fronts.

Here's something topical to the relationship of Hugh Syme and Rush.

I really like Ayreon's association with cover artist Jef Bertels:



... there are several albums with this style and it works for me!

[interbellum]

David Levitan did albums for Jeff Berlin, T Lavitz and The Players. His covers often had glass-balls.

[interbellum]

Tom Lietzau did (almost?) all covers for Light Coorporation:

[BravadoNJ]

the firm 'Hypnosis' did many covers for Pink Floyd & Alan Parsons.

[Jeremy Bender]

Totally not prog, but Morrissey of the totally great The Smiths designed all their singles and album sleeves with Jo Slee, I think they're brilliant.

[interbellum]

not that many, strictly speaking – the four remaining EMI albums (when h joined up) were done by bill smith studio (who also did latter-day GENESiS) and the designer in charge was carl glover who later became a freelance art director and continued to work for them. i love his work and i aspire to it myself when the opportunity allows it. the first two albums for CASTLE (“made again” and “tse”) were done by their in-house design team led by hugh gilmour and that's the only exception really.

For lovers of the work from the Bill Smith Studio: recently a book was published, called Cover Stories: 5 Decades Of Album Art.
