Did Roger ever do a painting for Tomato?

[Yorkshire Square]

And some rocks from Land's End ...

From Wikipedia:

The landscape comprised amongst other things, some famous English rocks taken from Dominy Hamilton's postcard collection. These are, specifically: Brimham Rocks, the last rocks at Land's End, the Logan Rock at Treen and single stones from Avebury and Stonehenge.

Correct you are. Scorpio is easy to spot with it's stinging tail.

Alan wanted the pyramid.
Jon wanted the lines of Nasca
Steve wanted a tofu sandwich
Chris wanted to take a bath
Rick wanted a drink with the Sabbs

Wonder who wanted the fish to have bubbles?

I read somewhere, possibly on a stone tablet in Latin, that the stars on the cover of Tales form the zodiacal constellations of the band's star signs, possibly including Eddie Offord as well?
I've never bothered to try and identify them; I don't personally have a star sign, for the same reason I don't have a Christian name.

Have you been drinkin' the egg nog, Yorkie???

No, but if you rub it between your toes, it keeps the athlete's foot down...

The tragedy of Tormato was that the original concept, with Steve spotting "Yes Tor" on a topographic map, could have led to a very cool Dean cover. Instead, we got what we got. I don't know if the tomato splatters made the critics more vicious than they would've been anyway, but why invite them to be that way?

And look how that worked out for poor old bubbles. Ended up with Michael Jackson and the rest, as they say, is History... 🙄

Wow. Unbelievable. Massive liberty. Like staring up the ladder and telling Michelangelo, maybe the fingers should actually touch.

Now you know how Steve felt when Jon got his "guitar" out... 😆😆😆

There was also a minor disagreement on TFTO whether or not the fish should have bubbles.

Supposedly Jon wanted to either add his own artwork to one of Roger's paintings or vice-versa, and Dean refused. There was also a minor disagreement on TFTO whether or not the fish should have bubbles.

Jon actually rates those paintings of his.

(Sells 'em on his website.)


SAVE THE BOGONG MOTH

Story goes Roger passed the G4T1 onto Yes then management who buried it. After that episode Roger was p'd off and not even Steve's loyalty could sway Tormato's destiny to have another Hipgnosis cover. Who were so hot right then.

Sanity was restored with Drama.

TQ's cover is brilliant. Even has nod to Chris.

Hipgnosis did some iconic album art, but they didn’t really “get” Yes.

[Gilly Goodness]

AA!

Look at bottom right of the painting. The rock pillar leaning on the big rock. Back view of Chris with his long hair and full coat.

Also the stained glass logo calls back to FOOW cover.

(Missing the Man?)

As always in 《YES》World, those theories are up for debate. Someone has to get Roger on the record.

Q: What is the nod to Chris Squire on the cover of THE QUEST??

[Ceasar’s Palace]

Then one of my favourite covers Drama where there is a shipwreck and 3 prowling Panthers and 2 new high flying birds. Clever narrative invention with a wink to the diehard believers.

ELECTRIFY EVERYTHING

I didn’t know that. Nice! Is it that in his eigthies book? Have to check that.
