Excerpt: Roger Dean (born 31 August 1944), is an English artist, designer, architect and publisher. He is best known for his work on posters and album covers for musicians, which he began painting in the late 1960s. The covers often feature exotic, fantasy landscapes. His work has sold more than sixty million copies world-wide, and his fantasy landscapes seem to have inspired those used in the film Avatar. Dean was born in Ashford, Kent but he spent most of his childhood moving around the world with his British Army father. The family returned to England in 1959 where he was educated at The Norton Knatchbull School. He later earned a National Diploma of Design from the Canterbury School of Art. In 1968, he graduated from the Royal College of Art in London. He has lived in Brighton since 1972. Beginning in the field of design, he preferred to distinguish between design (the reworking of existing models), and invention (making something new). One of his inventions was the "sea urchin chair." It was a foam chair, which, though appearing spherical, would conform to the sitter, who could obtain a seated position of varying angles. Later, he was asked to design a "landscape" of similar seating for a club belonging to Ronnie Scott. His "retreat pod" chair design was featured in the film A Clockwork Orange. His first album cover work was in 1968 for The Gun. In 1971, Roger Dean produced the artwork for Atomic Rooster's album; In Hearing Of. This album cover hinted at the inimitable style for which he would later become famous. In the same year Roger Dean produced the cover for the first album by the African/Caribbean band Osibisa which featured a hybrid insect/elephant. This was much closer to Dean's work as we came to know it and it attracted widespread attention. Later that year, he began the partnership with the progressive rock band Yes for which he is best known. His first design for the band was for their album Fragile. Dean designed the now-classic Yes "bubble" logo, which
