Roger Dean posters

[gathernear]

I have 3 Roger Dean Yes posters. Two were bought around '73 or '74 (the outer space, asteroid picture from Yessongs and the 'green world' gatefold picture from Close to The Edge, the third at my GFTO tour show in '77 (it is a huge Yes logo in red letters with a gradiant green to black background). I can never put these posters up again, my wife is not as rabid as I. I would like these cool posters to go to a good home to someone who will display them. They need to be seen! I don't want to gouge anyone, but these posters are rare. If anyone's interested... I also have many other rock posters, mostly from early 70's bands.

[CattyKat]

I would like to have them. How much money do you want for each of them?

[haroldthebarrel]

If Kathrin doen't want them, I would LOVE them. I collect Roger Dean Posters and know i will never come across those ones in my lifetime. i frame them and put them all over my house! It feels like live in Roger Dean land sometimes!:cool:

:cheers: Joe C

I would also be happy if I had only one of them. I mean I need one now. I still have a Queen picture in my room and I think I would need to have a Roger Dean poster now. :)

[gathernear]

I pulled the posers out of the tubes to examine them. I've decided to keep them. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Not to state the obvious but there are Roger Dean posters for sale through his website, rogerdean.com, as well as more expensive options and bios; and even a forum to put in your 2 cents on selected works. Check it out if you haven't already!;)

As for the Relayer platesigned litho, I also have it.
I bought it at Albumstore.com,

I also had it signed by Steve Howe this past fall.

Problem, I read on Roger Deans site, that he never authorized these.
And I got a certificate as well.
But according to Deans site, he didn't sign the plate for these.

oh well.

I have purchased his Yellow City, Litho, from his site,
and I'd like to work on getting his posters there.
The Litho was $40 some. But the posters are cheaper.

A friend of mine has a YesSongs poster. It's an outerspace background with pieces from all the images from YesSongs that float (not the one landing in the water or the one with the girl sitting on it.) I think it also includes the flying fish/plane from Fragile. It's HUGE. It's about 4' by8' I'm sure it was not sanctioned by Roger Dean as it's layout is not very well balanced. It's probably a bootleg or maybe it was an in-store promo.

Wouldn't it be great to have Roger Dean design your home for you?

Wouldn't it be great to have Roger Dean design your home for you?

It wouldn't be desigined by Roger Dean, but inspired by him. My dream is a geodesic dome and I have money down on one of these kits. I already own the George Jetson furniture and I have several framed Dean posters for the walls. If I can just find some land where I want to live (Sigh)

I designed my own science-fictiony house in high school in the 60s- a sphere sunk mostly into the ground. Roger Dean could decorate it anytime!

[JustSayYES]

I'd love to have a Dean poster... Actually, I'd love to work with him on a respectable game idea. His captivation with beautiful fantasy landscapes would lend itself well to a particular project I've had in mind for a bit. Although, with a talented artist such as Roger Dean, I'm more than inclined to create from the ground up as well.

Quite a coincidence seeing this thread ... just this morning I took my Roger Dean poster of Badgers out of it's tube for the first time in a few years to be measured up for it's new frame and pride of place in my study. (800mm x 600mm).

I did have a Tales poster the same size but gave it to my Brother in law for safe keeping many years ago. He can't find it now!!

Over the last few months I have picked up the odd bargain on Ebay. I currently have original 70's Big O versions of these posters all still in their cellophne tubes.

I can't remember what happened to my big Tales poster since I moved out here from Alberta in '70.......arrrgggh.

What's the Gravy Train poster from? Never seen it before.

[pedro skychaser]

[VentureRG]

See the "Yes Related Memorabilia" thread for my signed Morning Bridge poster that Roger created for the Yes Symphonic show here in Philadelphia on August 21, 2001. I also have a signed Yes chop square-dragonfly. I also have a complete set of Roger's trading cards. I hope to have more soon. http://yesfans.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24799

[Buglunch]

Trading cards?? where and when did you get them and who made them?
-got a collectors' link?

Don't you just love the marbling inside King Crimson's second album, too?

I just bought one of these relayer signed lithos at a local auction and carefully examined it before buying. First, I do not see anywhere on Roger Dean's website that he did not sign these. The print has a press mark in the paper around the image as well as an authentic signature unless, seriously, a professional forger was involved. The quality of the image is professional. I judge it to be real by my high standards and would like to hear if anyone has proved these to be fakes, as I seriously doubt it. Marked 9XX of 9800. So these must be 9800 of these out there. Payed a mere $50 framed matted and I'm quite happy. Always a Yes fan since college. Comments? Confirmation? I see the albumstore.com is now out of business.

[JOAMdude]

can any good sized roger dean posters be bought online?
y'know one's that aren't upwards of 120 $,
because i've seen some on his website but they were all about 2 feet at the longest side,
Where did you all get your big posters? at yes shows and being them in person?

I have the above image on a large poster designed to promote the book , it is different to the original in that it has the promo words for the book launch at the bottom.

If any of you guys are selling your stuff, please let me know. I am a huge fan!

I have a signed Floating Islands, Relayer, and the original Tales Big O poster. A few other concert posters too.

[QuietInside]

I can't believe there are only a few posters for sale at Rogers own site. I'd love to get a poster of the Tales From Topographic Oceans album, or one of Relayer.....but they seem pretty impossible to find......the ones out there are 2nd hand, rare and expensive!!

I would think that if Roger managed to print off a run of classic yes covers, they'd sell rather smartly. ....maybe there are some legalities/technicalities I'm not aware of preventing this though?

[Buglunch]

I had the huge Topo poster in the mid-70s.... no idea where it is.
Waaaaaa....

[MichaelB]

I remember you could buy them at Spencers Gifts back in the mid seveties for a few dollars apiece. I had quite a few. I wish I had kept mine rolled up and stored away.

[rheayes]

My husband has a bunch of the original Big O posters and I had some of the reprints done in the mid-1990s. Thankfully, we're both fans, so we have Roger Dean/Yes stuff in almost every room in our condo. Here's some pictures:
