    i like it, but it looks a bit dated with its heavy emphasis on dean’s early period pointilism (“views” period).

    and yes, that logo on their latest is.... to say the least: disputable

    I think you're mistaking the texture for pointilisim.

    I love the muted colors in this one. But the lettering kills it for me. I would have left it off completely.

    I absolutely love the lettering - both the "font" and color choice. Love that red against the green.

    The red against the green is a nice contrast, but I find that font very difficult to read. Unreadable lettering = bad idea! The white band logo is OK at best. Again, I think it would be a better cover without the distraction of a semi-lame logo and unreadable title lettering. But the painting is beautiful.

    ...and that's why I am a visual artist and not a writer.

    New album cover from Roger Dean

    Here’s another new cover by Dean:

    Now this has been bounced back up, I just wanted to say how much I love that Black Moth album. It was by far my favourite disc of 2014. If you like a good stoner riff and have still nit heard it, you really should ASAP.

    Did Dean use the technique he used for the background for GG’s Octopus for any other work? It’s so different from his usual.

    Hadn't ever seen this cover until the thread happened to pop up. Wonderful cover with a darker vibe than I'm used from Roger; glad I saw it, if eight years after the fact.

    Roger posted some new work-in-progress artwork today on his Facebook that looks rather Yessish....haven't the Yesmen been mentioning that there is another new Yes album in the works?

    If we're looking at the same thing then I would say these paintings are very similar to many that have already been used for Yes.
