A forward-thinking architect, product designer, publisher, and artist, Roger Dean is a genre unto himself. From his iconic album covers and posters for bands like Yes and Asia, to his logo designs for video games like Tetris and Psygnosis, Dean has sold over 150 million copies of his work worldwide.

His unique style is instantly recognizable, featuring fantastical landscapes with dramatic floating rock formations, lush alien flora and fauna, and colorful organic structures. After the release of James Cameron’s blockbuster movie Avatar, Dean enjoyed a surge of interest in his work after many pointed out several visual motifs mirrored in the visual design of the film. To be fair, it’s inconceivable to think of fantasy and science fiction art without being influenced by the superlative work of Roger Dean, whose evocative and visionary images have permeated and shaped popular culture over the past 50 years.
