There are some Roger Dean covers (The Greenslade ones come to mind) that have a smack of that look for sure. I was also a big fan of Gould's combination of fine drawing and patterned details. It makes me think there would be room for a bit of that, but that may just be wishful thinking. <br /><br />Corry<br />Glad to hear the show went well. Hope to see more on your site and blog soon. <br /><br />Thank you both!<br /><br />JeffJeff A.

Harry Clarke follows Nielsen in that book. I vividly remember being amazed at how current Nielsen's work from 1914 looked in 1974 (before all the Frazetta-inspired Painters came of age). "The North Wind" could've graced any hard rock album cover. And "The Lad in Battle" is the proto-hero, leaping on his black steed towards a phalanx of spears and shields. Robert Gould and some others drank from that water, but you don't see so much decorative style these days.RachelAKAnoreply@blogger.com
