 Sun Soarers
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?"
