Heeheehee!
Someone long ago would often say to me - if you try holding back the hands of time they will eventually rip your arms off.
And yet it seems, from the mind of Roger Dean, it is the world that will eventually revolve around time.

I always have Star Trek on one monitor and a cat on the other.



Shocking, I know.

Oh, a change is coming, feel these doors now closing
Is there no world for tomorrow, if we wait for today?

Eh, it's not particularly impressive. I have photogenic kittehs and can't claim any credit for the artwork on the ST side.

Change of wallpaper for the change in season

I use this picture to daydream. On being in one of those
little mushroom houses questioning what makes the rock twist in shape.

Very cool 😎I could definitely join in re daydreaming on the wallpaper, its cool, relaxing and evoking of fantasy themes.

In fact great inspiration if I were going to write.

I see the bridge representing a string bend - a brief moment in time - the stretch of one note to another.
As the guitar has a bridge this of course isn't pure imagination.

I appear to have deleted the photo I'm using for my home screen from my gallery, and I have no idea how to reload it so I can share it...

Roger Dean HOME
(check out his snazzy global links)

What's really sad is I would buy his wall posters as a teenager - many many moons ago - and wish there were some underlying logic within the dreamy worlds.
<sigh> Some things just take a while.
Like Walt Disney, Dean will keep his pallet down to three colours giving the prints an almost trivial and transient quality. Perfect for hiding treasure.

Ah yes, he did a lot of book covers for Heinlein. I had all of those, back in the day.

Ah yes, Roger Dean! I too had a few of those on my wall - and the other guy........the one who did the band Yes's stage sets.......no - it's gone.

Talking of Roger Dean, do you remember the picture "Another Time, Another Place"? By coincidence I was thinking of that picture only a couple of days ago - just an odd musing remembrance of times past - and now this pops up.

Still Roger Dean. He painted many of Yes' album covers and designed their stage sets.

He also designed some communities, but I don't know if they were ever fully developed.
