DEAN, Roger

DEAN, Roger
(1944-)
   UK illustrator. Primarily a commercial designer, especially of record-album covers, RD has done some sf and fantasy ILLUSTRATION, and his album and poster art shows a strong fantasy influence. His style is strong, romantic and mannered; he contrasts very finely detailed figures and machines against loosely structured backgrounds. His book Views (1975) shows his development from a student at the Canterbury School of Art onwards. Views was published by Dragon's Dream, a specialist publishing house devoted primarily to UK fantasy illustrators, founded by RD and his brother Martyn Dean; it also publishes under the Paper Tiger imprint. The book Magnetic Storm (1984), ed Roger and Martyn Dean, details many of the design and publishing projects - often fantastic or sciencefictional - with which they have been associated. RD has been an important influence on UK fantasy illustration, as has his brother, who is more closely associated with book publishing than RD.
