This page is dedicated to my favourite artist, Roger Dean. My name is Brian Currin and I live in Cape Town, South Africa. I have been a fan of Roger's work since the early 70s. My favourites are his paintings for Yes and Uriah Heep and I bought the "Symphonic Pink Floyd" CD in 1995 mainly for the artwork!

"Dixie" Dean: I was at Canterbury College of Art with Roger in the 1960s. We both came from Dover and commuted on the same train and went to the same rather wild art student parties. We always called him"Dixie" rather than Roger. He was an extremely amiable and pleasant young guy, very popular, with a cheerful disposition. Like you I am very pleased that he has been so successful. I also think your art is very exciting and unique and the idea of a combined Dean and Currin website is a very clever and enjoyable one.

The Making Of The Magician's Birthday Album Cover
The cover of Uriah Heep's "Magician's Birthday" was assembled from the separate images shown below. Because it had to be completed in a day Dean had to specify the background colour he wanted to the printers over the telephone. Their was no time to check proofs, and he was relieved to see that the different elements had fused more or less as he had hoped they would.
