Roger Dean at Cropredy

[Bridgwit (Bridget)]

Great news! I hope to buy a piece of his art, if the price is right…  

From the FC Website, festival section:

“We are delighted to welcome Roger Dean to Cropredy for the first time.

Roger is one of the most inspiring and innovative designers & artists working today. His work in music especially album sleeves for the likes of YES, GREENSLADE, BUDGIE and ASIA are the stuff of legend. The cover for the YES album, “Tales From Topographic Oceans” was voted the best album cover of all time in a Rolling Stone readers online poll.

Trading Boundaries will be exhibiting Roger’s work at stall number 6 on the Jonah’s Oak side of the arena. There will be new works available plus many of the more famous prints you’ve known and loved for many years.

Roger is really looking forward to Cropredy and will be happy to sign autographs.”

I'll be taking my copy of Topographic Oceans for him to sign. It'll be the only bit I  understand  

(Seriously though. great news.)

No mention of T-shirts which is a real shame.

[Sue & Chris]

Seems that there is a Roger Dean T-shirt. No doubt in a ridiculously small supply, so anyone wish to guess how quickly they will sell out? I'm guessing Thursday afternoon, only question is whether it's before or after Fairport kick off the Festival.

All the examples of the t-shirt I’ve seen are black and white, so I’m guessing that the shirt is also in monochrome. Seems a shame considering Dean’s excellent use of colour.

I believe Roger Dean will accompany Yes on their upcoming US tour. Might be reason enough to buy a ticket for the Steve Howe Band.

The Office said on Twitter there may yet be a colour version and that the RD Cropredy t-shirts will be available from his tent and the usual Merch tent.

I agree they'll sell out quickly.
