Sci-fi/ psychedelic artist. Cover art for “Yes”

Dean’s work documents the beginning of a new world. The album art covered three stages for life developing.

Dean’s depictions of a fictional world are interesting because they documents the beginning of a new world sort of like how I as considering for my own fantasy world. they are all done in water colour that gives a tonal pallet. Giving perfect washed out tones for sky and seas while also allowing rich colour that adds the psychedelic fantasy look.

When coming to make my own map I considered a conversation I had with a friend about creating a dream planet for surfing. what would it look like? If we had the opportunity to shape a new inhabitant less planet what would it look like?

Before bringing surfing into it I thought about Tolkine (creator of The Lord of the Rings saga) and the complete fictional universe and its own rich seam. Cultures, languages, histories and Lore. I looked at his own original illustrations.
