I am undecided but I suspect that it is the one which I favour was affecteted by his pet cat in 1971 incident and involved the colour blue.

Mr.Dean is an expert with colour.I love the way he immediately corrected this accidental intruision by this inncocent animal without changing the or destracting from the methods of his fine art.

What iis your favourite Roger Dean artwork?

Closely followed by 'Tales..' I've never seen Dean artwork I haven't liked.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Greenslade's first album and Uriah Heep's Magician's Birthday. But Blacksword's right, when was he ever subpar? Even Hipgnosis/Storm Thorgerson did some crap now and again...

By the way, for those how haven't yet stumbled across it, Roger Dean has released many of his most famous works in digital form for use as computer desktop wallpaper. I've collected all four sets released so far, and they are truly stunning. Each set comes with 10 images for $9.95, and you get to pick from a wide variety of screen resolutions. If anyone is interested, here's the URL:

Enjoy.

From what I've seen this is my favorite Dean art. He reminds me of Salvador Dali's photographic realism, who is my favorite artist.

It's hard to choose which one is the best, cinema's chioces are some of my favorite too.

Relayer and (the inside of) Close to the Edge, followed closely by Tales.

The Asia ones are better than the record inside, but still not up to those three.

This one hangs on the wall in my office. It's an autographed poster of the ABWH cover.

 

If you look in the lower right hand cover, you can barely see the autograph.

Has anyone guessed which my favourite is? Well to tell the truth they are all my favourites but the one which hangs in my rec room along with two others involves the colour blue and Mr. Dean`s pet cat.  Rob Plant I agree with you comparing Mr. Dean`s work with Dali. I am sure that he was very much influenced by Dali`s work.

My favorite one is the UK version of Gentle Giant's Octopus... The colors are simply incredible...

The inside of Close To The Edge is great too

Maybe this choice may seem silly, but one little masterpiece, in minimalistic terms, is the Yes logo. In fact, I think that 50% of Yes popularity lean on it .

The last one it's a joke, but the logo is amazing.
Please forgive me for my crappy english!
