Guy Peellaert (6 April 1934 – 17 November 2008) was a Belgian artist, painter, illustrator, comic artist and photographer, most famous for the book Rock Dreams, and his album covers for rock artists like David Bowie (Diamond Dogs) and The Rolling Stones (It's Only Rock 'n' Roll). He also designed film posters for films like Taxi Driver, Paris, Texas, and Short Cuts. The band Frankie Goes to Hollywood took their name from Peellaert's painting, titled Frank Sinatra, which featured the headline "Frankie Goes Hollywood".

Rock Dreams: The Beach Boys

"Ra Ra Ra, be true to your school,

Just like you would to your girl or guy..."



Rock Dreams: Brian Wilson

"Vacations, Carl worked at the gas station, for a dollar an hour, while Denny took the car... Brian sat at home, in his room, with his weight problems and his ear disease, his allergies, his pathological shyness, and wrote dreams about outdoors, where the sun was always shining, where the cosmic surfer's wave unfurled towards infinity, and where everyone was golden, young and beautiful forever"

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: The Who



Rock Dreams: Ray Davies

"What are we living for? Two room apartment, second floor".

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: The Rolling Stones #6

"Then there were two, because the third had flown off thrpough the window and disappeared into the skies, and they sat among the debris, sated, slightly ageing but not too jaded to pull the same rude faces, or to stick out their tongues once more, as they'd done in the days of their first youth".

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: Superstar Bob

"Soon his fame spread and he toured, grew rich, and was worshipped. Messianic, he need only point his finger and the temples trembled beneath him. Now he travelled the world, a potentate, whose person was sacred. whose every word was scripture. and the multitudes flocked to see him. and touch him, and bend to kiss his feet.

But these things were not possible, for zimmerman was no longer reachable, Brooding in grand hotels and limousines, he sat in judgement, or presented parables, but lived behind bullet-proof glass."

Nik Cohn

Rock Dreams: Otis Redding

"Pity poor Otis, with his raggedy clothes and holes in his shoes - abused by his woman, scandalised and slanderised and riding out of town.

But on stage, he always wore silks and smiled with the whitiest teeth."

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: Smokey Robinson

"There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.

a red rose up in Spanish Harlem"



Rock Dreams: Aretha Franklin

"Sister Aretha - most righteous - so strong so fierce, so domineering that she could cast aside her microphone and let fly unaided to shatter plate glass windows, topple skyscrapers , tear down whole cities , in the praise and service of her lord."

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: Wilson Pickett nd Solomon Burke

"In the history of the universe where there ever hustlers to equal these?

With their shades and rings and alligator shoes and their creases as sharp as a knife, they had all the foxes running round in circles. all the dollar bills just dropping into their palms."

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: Stevie Wonder

"A big band for little Stevie, with magic in his fingertips and rhythm in his toes. Despite handicaps that would defeat most boys his age, he is not downhearted and goes right ahead, making his happy music, with that happy dancing beat for all the happy people who flock to hear him."

Nik Cohn

Rock Dreams: Joe Tex

"And Brother Joe most sneaky-

Who preached sermons of chastity, honour humility, thrift? Who wagged his bony forefinger and sucked upon his lips, for the sins of all mankind? Then who made off with he collection and seduced he Deacon's wife in the name of Brotherly Love? Who else?"

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: Chairmen of the Board

"After Jimi Hendrix, more black music sold in white markets, after the Beatles, more white sold in black. Out of that interaction, Soul developed a different approach - less stereotyped, altogether more personal, Nor was the change purely musical, Performers too grew idiosyncratic and self-willed. No more pre-packagng, no more funk by numbers - the new wave created their won patterns and issued all their own orders, If there must be bullshit, at least they would manufacture their own."

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: The Jackson Five

"Just the same old styles died slow. For every freak and rebel, there were still five nice boys in suits, who beamed and capered and made no fuss for anyone. Their clothes and hair might be altered and some of the ways they talked but, when you sliced them they were big-eyed and cute, wholesome as mom's apple pie."

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: Diana Ross

"No cause for alarm: even now, after all these years, great ladies of the manor came back and cruised the streets and gazed into tenements and floated off down alleys just to check that nothing had changed. "

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

"Highway songs full of light and space."

Nik Cohn



Rock Dreams: The Who

"From Shepherd's Bush Mods to time-machine mystic travellers,The Who embodied many different visions."

Nik Cohn

Ajoj ♥ 

Ova sa Redingom mi se najviše dopada.

p.s. mogao si i u linkove   

Vendersofilko

To zvuči kao nešto što bih ja rekao (pogled kroz trepavice)

Prvo sam našao pojedinačne slike na raznim sajtovima - to su ove okačene - tek pri kraju sam naišao na album na flickru (koji ne dopušta deljenje slika, ili sam samo ja smotan), a čak ni on ne sadrži sve slike - ako neko nađe link za download knjige u pdf-u ili tako nešto, zna koja je adresa

Meni su sve slike fantastične, obožavam ovaj stil crtanja iako nikad nisam saznao kako se zove (ima ga ponekad i na pazlama, kad su amerikana teme), ali bih mogao da izdvojim Džo Teksa, Džoni Keša, Piketa i Burka, i sa linka koji sam ostavio - Mamu Kas i Mišel Filips iz Mamasa end Papasa (znaćeš kad vidiš )

Da dodam još, ovde mogu da se nađu dodatna pojašnjenja za neke od slika (naročito za one gde ne piše tačno ko su likovi na slici, poput Chairmen of the Board), kao i spisak svih slika sadržanih u knjizi:
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Dreams

Ne dopušta, fotke su zaštićene, kao i na 500px npr., s tim što je ovaj prvi fri stok sajt msm, a na 500px se plaćaju. Tj. može, ako imaš nalog valjda pa imaš pristup svim veličinama, onda možeš da je skineš u nekoj drugoj. A i ako nemaš nalog, postoji program za to. 
Ja sam skidala sa oba sajta, ali šerovane, preko gotovih linkova.

Kako god, fino
