Sun Soarers(From the book "Solar
Wind
Volume 2")This painting was
created in 1979 as
the original proposal for the very first Solar Wind book
edition, then
published by Dragon's World Ltd in 1980.Surprised? ."I had created it as the cover but,
after a discussion with Roger Dean (Views book, Yes rock
band covers
and director of Dragon's World Publishers) in my Fulham
Road basement
studio, I decided instead, at his suggestion, to create
a variant of my
popular Protector book cover. "Amusingly, as the Solar Wind book
was ready to go to press, time was very, very short (no,
really,
there's a change!) and so I was in the deja-vu situation
of having to
do exactly what I'd done when I created the original UK
Protector book
cover . . . . "I shut myself in the studio, with a
week's supply of food, decent Havana cigars, plenty of
Rolling Stones
albums, and sufficient paint."A very satisfying but exhausting
week later the cover art was complete, and off I rushed,
on theTube
from Putney Bridge to Covent Garden to get it shot on
5x4 inch
transparency for Roger."Myth dispelled?"Deborah
