"(insert the epic guitar solo from Yes's "Starship Troopers" here)" (the art of Roger Dean)

One of my favorite artists, Roger Dean.

Today's musical selection comes from Yes - the guitar solo from "Starship Troopers"

Roger's link on Wikipedia and the link to his website.

I was fascinated by his work with album covers and and the stylings from Heavy Metal. I am a child of the 1970s and 1980s and his work hits that cord of within me. I like curves and an otherworldly-ness.

My 12 year old self fell in love...and I have never fallen out.

"What do you do with a drunken whaler . . . " (the art of Jean-Baptiste Regnault)

Today's musical selection comes from the game Dishonored, "Drunken Whaler."

Which brings us to today's artist, Jean-Baptiste Regnault who started his life as a sailor. The Athenaeum has a list of twenty-four of his works. He is a new artist for me. (http://www.the-athenaeum.org/art/list.php?m=a&s=tu&aid=5414)
