Anyone who has had the pleasure of leafing through one of Roger's coffee table books could not possibly argue that the images from Avatar are lifted straight from Roger's beautiful eye. Thanks, Roger. Thanks for Avatar.
Hi, jwNicholson, I guess you're meaning about Relayer's cover. I've google it but all I know there's a book called Views, and another called Dragon's Dream { 70's edition, ( which refered cover album is) more than 50 paintings and landscapes as I remember } maybe wherever you can search it better than this vague info
I met him at an exhibition of his work once and I seem to remember he implied he's not really a Yes fan. However his album covers are extraordinary so who cares whether he is inspired by the music or not? He is inspired enough of his own accord -it sounds like he has to restrict his imagination and 'cherry pick' the best ideas. Just look at his books to see he has no shortage of ideas for logos, designs, landscapes -including 3D concepts for things like architecture & 'futurist vehicles' etc...
In some ways Roger is tapping into the same creative muse that the ancient Celts did by basing much of their art and artifacts on organic shapes and open-ended curves. You don't ever see much in the way of straight lines in any of his work.
He's given credit in the Omzion film!

I love the works of Roger Dean. It's a genius. I think that Roger is one of the best artists of '900.

People who´ve been watching Avatar claim that the movie is fully Roger Dean´s work, although there´s no credit in it.
