I loved this Sci Fi artwork ever since high school in the '70s.
I didn't know it from video games, but from the albums by the band Yes.
Especially Yes - Relayer. Spectacular futuristic images.
This inspired me to purchase the book, Views. This really expanded my understanding of his work. I especially loved his concepts of organic living spaces.
I had always wondered what happened to him, and I guess the answer is that he started working on video game art.
I've never seen any of that, but I wonder how well animation serves his orginal art. Especially in low resolution early games.
- scns 1y agoGot in contact with his art through Yes too. Fragile, Close To The Edge and Relayer. Their best albums IMHO. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6ogdCG3tAWiL8m1GcsVLoy0DQwG0-_T3 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6ogdCG3tAWiL8m1GcsVL... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ktk8PtkXO8GdshsmXb6w0fhaCMMTsyFio https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ktk8PtkXO8Gdsh... https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mB2Z4c14a1jFhhTFB2IlKyhfpizRSXkKI https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mB2Z4c14a1jFhh... [edit] Roundabout has an absurdly high number of views, totally deserved though
- ndriscoll 1y agoThe absolutely insane thing about Yes is that (IMO) their best albums/best versions of their songs are the live ones, consistently. Something like the Yesshows version Gates of Delirium[0] with headphones can teleport you off completely into another universe until 15 minutes in where there's a lull and the crowd starts cheering and you remember this was a live recording, wtf. Yesshows and Yessongs are both mind-bending. Dean's artwork was perfect for Yes.
