Description
A good few years ago we were decorating the house. Just before the living room wall was painted I started drawing on it, knowing that it was soon to be covered over.
Any excuse to avoid DIY!
The picture sort of grew until I decided that it might not be a bad idea to keep it, so I stuck a frame over it and its been there ever since.
Inspired by Rodger Dean who designed some fabulous album covers for the like of the band "Yes" (remember Relayer)
Anyway I photographed the picture and added a few coloured filters in photoshop to it and thought you might like it.
Thanks for viewing

Excellent, I remember Rodger Dean and Yes, OH and Asia, whos album covers he also done, yep I'm getting old! Beautuful work.

I wasn't even born when it was recorded, but, of all the Yes albums I listened to, Relayer is my favourite. The moment, after Steve's guitar solo, John starts "Soon, O soon the light" sends shivers down my spine. Yessongs and Relayer and you have Yes. Thanks for this beautiful homage!

Very nice. And I still have Relayer on Vinyl. Always liked his work and you are very good also.

It's wonderful. Reminds me of an artist whose name eludes me right now. I guess I'll be up all night trtying to think of the name now. LOL

The second I saw the thumb, I thought of Roger Dean, whom I truly admire! Glad you did not paint over this. Fantastic!

Hey nice !!! Among Rodger Dean's cover, is there In The Land Of The Grey And Pink (Caravan) ? Your drawing looks very much like it.

A really nice drawing but I wouldn't want to live there!

I saw this in the forum! How cool that a simple doodle ended up a framed work of art on your wall! I think you did a great job with it. So here's another talent... you might be able to quit your day job. :) Great work! :)

I recognise the style, Anthony, being a SciFi and Modern Art enthusuast in my formative yers.. As for your excuse not to decorate.. The last time I attempted a mural I was just turned 4 years old, and had used coloured chalks on our back tenement stairs in Motherwell near to Fir Park Stadium. I had just discovered that my dad's chalk board ( plywood with some black board paint on it, was not the only surface amenable to chalk.. The factor of the old building, an infant head-mistress, castigated all the school weans.when they got home, until I shyly raised my hand to do the George Washington thing. Then she kept on praising me... From that moment on I decided that grown ups were just weird. I was expecting a clip around the ears, and getting dragged to my mum! I did learn how to use a chalk duster that evening, before I started primary school, though. Regards, John.

Waht an amzing thing! To have this so long on your walls before you think someone else might enjoy a gander! It is wonderful! I love the sense of whimsical fantasy! BJ

Excellent work!!.....I spotted the "Relayer" touch on first view!!...I've always admired the work of Roger Dean...A few(maybe five)years ago I was lucky enough to meet him...he is an absolute gentleman!!...it was a very informal showing of 15-20 pieces of his work at a small Art Shop/Gallery in Newcastle U.K....He chatted freely and signed old Albums & posters whenever asked...to see his work up close was AWESOME!!....This image is a Superb tribute to "The Man"!!....^_^...
