    Remastered/Redrawn Octopus artwork

    According to Burning shed, the GG Octopus artwork was remastered and redrawn for this shirt. Was this also done for the recent CD rerelease? I'm not sure what they mean by remastered in this case - maybe they're joking. But was it really redrawn? Maybe there was no original artwork that was adequate for making the shirt.

    Whatever the case, it's morally wrong.

    It was not redrawn. Roger Dean went back to redigitize the original painting though to "remaster" the artwork.

    It may have been cleaned up a bit to look good on a shirt, but it was certainly not redrawn.

    Maybe the remastered shirt is warmer.

    Don't make me post my Suicide Squid shirt. Just ... don't.

    That's cool, and reminds me of once, when I was a kid, on Sanibel Island, I picked up a shell on the beach and suddenly a baby octopus crawled out of it! Maybe that's what got me into Prog...
