Today is a special happy day for me as my big design guru Roger Dean celebrates his 60th birthday!
He's my icon now for about 15 years, and this year his career began about 35 years ago, with work evolved from his RCA sketchbook.
So, if you ever check this site Roger, here's to you:

Happy B-day from Holland, the guy at Wembley who revealed your ID so you had to stay for autographs... ;)

It's not just that Roger's lithos and prints illuminate the walls of my dwelling...
It's not just the fact that I fell into his paintings as a kid, and continue to fall into them now, moving about those rare dreamscapes of otherworldliness, alien yet human and inviting...
It's not just because he was so approachable, amiable, candid:
Interested in his fans, the few times I've had the pleasure to meet him...
No...
It's mostly because Roger is Roger, there is simply no other.
He is the true 6th member of YES.
Roger Dean has amazingly grasped and captured the vision, the purity, and the borderless visual scope of the music we hold so dear.
Happy Birthday Roger Dean!
My Hero.

Happy birthday Roger Dean.
Nature's gentleman.
The essential cog in the world of Yes - or better still with Roger - the universe of Yes.
You are so much part of the Yes evolution from being just a band playing interesting, different music to a band that inhabits an artistic world that encompasses music, poetry, art, architecture, stage design and just as important a spiritual ethos full of uplifting optimism and a recognition of the natural wonders.
Have a great day!

So many talented people are celebrating their birthdays these days! Happy birthday Roger, and may I add, I think the set design for Yes's 35th anniversary tour is great!

Happy birthday Roger Dean. If a picture is a thousand words, then you've put more lyrics to the Yessongs than any of it's members.
I wonder if his birthday cake will be as fantastic and as surreal as his paintings? The candles would probably hang upside down from some carefully carved piece of confectionary!

mr dean-i appreciate your talent so much-i am artistically challenged myself-cant even draw stick men, so your work is such a blessing to behold..
you take us out of the ordinary-the mundane-and help us explore new territories
open our minds..
i hope you have a wonderful day
and thank you many times over for giving us those wonderful landscapes that we can just 'fall into' and be at peace-quiet-calm.. reflective..
the world could use a little fantasy about now-and we feel so fortunate to have been blessed with your amazing artistic talent..
thank you..
Happy Birthday.
may your dreams be half as colorful as your work is!

happy birthday roger!-you've been my inspiration now for 30 years-from crudely drawn logos on school haversacks to large canvases-saw your show at gig galley in glebe,2003,to see your work in the flesh was a dream come true-yesshows in particular had unseen extra bit that made the whole scene appear tiny and in a bigger cave!!amazing-red earth was awe inspiring+you seem like a gracious,humble guy!
as i listen to rick tonight i'll close my eyes and conjure up a "dean" to suit!
