So amazing 😅 thank you for sharing.
Thanks, Chris!Thinking of my own early artistic inspirations, Roger Dean is right up there with Dr. Suess in terms of mastery of line and flow. What a joy to hear the master talk about his work, art and vision for the future.
Woot! Thx for the deep dive convo…Epic! Loved this one & your skillful interviewing! 🙏🌀♾️🎶
Big thanks! 🙏 happy you liked it!!
Love this one!
Big thanks! 🙏
Such a good podcast it’s insane to see how art and music can blend together organically compared to other genres that use the same theme such as djs with their visual artists! Love how well you asked questions Chris, even from a fan perspective ✊🏼
Big thanks 🙏 I was a bit nervous but tried my best!
Legendary interview!

Awesome, thanks for enjoying the series!! 🙌
Awesome you interviewed a legend. Hope to see more like this!
What a legend! I really enjoyed this episode🙏🏽
Awesome, thanks for watching 🙌
Wow, he kind of insulted your craftsmanship! Your work is super skilled and tight Chris! LOL! Was great that you got him to finally admit he did LSD and Mescaline. Fascinating interview. 😝
I dont think he was referring to my personal crastmanship. He had just met me so didnt really know my personal skills, so i think he was just talking in general.
As for the medicines, I didnt want to squeeze that out of him, I was just so curious is he could love the 60s n 70s doing psychedelic art and avoiding that side of things.
Thanks for watching!
Stellar interview! This was a great episode; I would have loved to hear Roger Dean speak later. Pretty neat he has toured with the same band for 50 years, I saw some pretty incredible stage designs!
Yeah, it was a great presentation. I wanted to interview him longer but he had to do a sound check.
What a great interview! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoy the whole series!
🎉
I couldn’t stand abstract when I studied it in college. Now I love it! My own greatest abstracts were painted in the 90’s and I haven’t had a piece compare to them since. I just paint trash art now
I think different times calls for different kinds of expressions. Hope you have fun expressing yourself either way!
I love what Roger Dean says about the history of modern art in USA. As a painter I’ve always felt the presence of some kind of ideological agenda in the “art world,” more properly called the art establishment. It is true that they don’t genuinely respect creativity any more than they do skill. It’s fascinating that he tracks it back to FDR. And as for Rockefeller - he did for art what he did for medicine. All the real creative work is being done outside the establishment, not within it.
@@patrickkihn True! At the beginning I didn’t understand his point but it eventually sank in and agree
Wonderful episode. You are a great interviewer Chris. Loved some of the laughs. Neat to get a different perspective on art that perhaps looks surreal but is not necessarily coming from the psychedelic perspective because I do believe art really just comes from a place of imagination. Chris you make me miss our vinyl collection. Had to let that go when we moved. But I too like music bands that allow you to zone out. I like music that comes from bands. It's usually my go to. Blessings🪷
Thanks Alaska, happy you appreciate the way I investigate gems. I am happy to share the Roger vibes. I would have looked after your vinyl collection, haha, yes, band rule.
Interesting how the history of American art often gets overlooked. The renaissance is much more well known.
Right? Super interesting how politics always influences what’s popular or not.
Og psychedelic artist...LEGEND!!😊
Yeah! Hope you catch other legends in the series too!
✨🙌✨
this is great
Thanks for watching 🙌💚
I loved your interview. I disagreed with Dean’s assertion that abstraction was pushed by the government during and after WWII. The Art League in New York taught realism as did Ringling School of Art in Florida and others. No art school at that time that I’m aware of received government funding. I agreed with his comment about modern architecture originating from the Bauhaus movement. The architects like Mies van der Rohe were socialists designing housing for workers. Also kudos to you for getting Dean comfortable enough with you to admit that hallucinogens did indeed influence his work.
Niceness, thanks for your reflections! Thanks for watching!! 🙌
It’s not an assertion , it’s a fact . Just google CIA funding Abstract Expressionism and New American Paintings . There’s a ton of info about it …..on one hand it’s a drag but on the other hand it makes sense . I suspect there was covert funding of many artistic and cultural movements , especially the ones that broke down or abandoned classical conceptions of art and music…..think Jackson Pollock for painting and Ornette Coleman for music 💡 and the list goes on
Thanks for all of the great content Chris , enjoying the channel. New subscriber 👍
I see through all of this; houuever my vision is the illest y°
