Roger Dean studied furniture design in college, which equipped him to do this album cover for Walking Circles, by Midnight Sun. Here’s what Dominy Hamilton and Carla Capalbo wrote about the art in the 1975 Roger Dean art book Views:

“Dean decided that after 5,000 years of chair design the only sufficiently different variation as yet unattempted, as far as he knew, was the bio-chemical approach. Dean's proposal was based on a mechanism favoured by lizards for re-growing their tails. Dean finally abandoned this project because of lack of facilities.”

Can you provide an unnumbered list of links to all of the space and astronomy futurism pictures you have on your blog that were created by Rick Guidice, whom - if I'm not mistaken - was a NASA concept artist during the Apollo program and into the Skylab program years?

Please correct me if I got the artist's bio wrong too, thanks.

Yeah, you should be able to find them all with this link! Or this one. There are a lot of repeats and I'm sure there are plenty of Guidice works that I haven't included.

He's a nice guy, we swapped a few emails when I was putting my art book together. There's a fun free 23-minute documentary about him on Youtube, if you haven't seen it.
