 Topic: Yes To The Edge ( Darksideof Collage appreciation)
Posted: February 07 2010 at 02:13 |
Hello, prog family from the around the world!My first collage for the year. There you have it as I promised on my last post. This time is for one the greatest and more important band for the for this type of rock that we all love. YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES,YES, Their early music was an innovation to the world of rock that changed the life of many young people from around the world. I was one of these kids. I have been a Yes fan for many years now and still love them. However, is it their early music that still I adore and still inspire me to as artist and as human being. Jon lyrics are so beautifully sang that had made me cry for joy and made me believe that music can make you happy even if you have no clue when he says: "A seasoned witch could call you from the depths of your disgrace, And rearrange your liver to the solid mental grace". What can I say about Yes' well know album cover artist Mr. Roger Dean. His work quiet breath taking me. I used to copy his work on school notes when I was 14 years old. I can vividly remember stareding at his Yes' artwork while listening to the music and simply being ovelwelm by it.. wow what a a great experience and unfotable and I was only 13 then. It is an extremely pleasure and honor to do this collage and mess with his all ready wonderful breath taking artwork. I am hoping that I didn't f**k them up!. As some of you guys might know all ready about my collages I try extremely hard to create my collages as an unique and interesting as something that weren't done before as collage goes. I made 2 versions of the collage as you might noticed all ready. The first it is an all and only Roger Dean Yes' albums collage and the second is with the band imaging. I guess I did 2 version because I first started with dean artwork and then I started with the band fotos, but when I was done with Dean's images I liked it very much and I thought I was fine the way it was, but not complete. so I made 2  I hope you guys like them and I hope someone will use it as their wallpapers. Leave some comments!
Yes To The Edge.

Absolutely fantastic. I think personally it's your best so far. I will say I've never been a fan of the GFTO cover, but I thought what you did in the first collage, working him in staring at the sky of landscapes in front of him was great, poignant really.

Nice interpretation of the work thanks! . That is the beauty of art.. Everyone is welcome to a personal interpretation that even the artist himself wasn't aware of it.

I love the first one, it's more concise and the 'idea' of it all is fantastic.
The second one seems more "saturated" due to the addition of more images and the inclusion of band members. Though it's more "representative" of the band, so it's still great.
Great job, once again !  |

Not to be "that guy"...I love your first one, but I find myself wanting a bit more than roger dean's landscapes. The second one is a bit....I don't know....busy?
OK....now that I've said that.....
I absolutely LOVE these and will be using the top one as my desktop background!!

You just had to include the naked guy, didn't you?
All joking aside, these really do look incredible, especially the top one. Simply amazing.

Sorry I didn't read it all, too long.
Anyways, I thought you would like some criticism(not necessary negative, mind you) for a change.
