Did anyone have this poster in the nineties?

Hello all,

I’m searching for a poster I had in my student bedroom in the early nineties. It was a landscape of a fantasy like world looking towards a hill. I don’t think there were any figures but it has a King Arthur type vibe. I’ve done an image search but can’t find it anywhere. My daughter’s off in a few weeks to uni and it set me down memory lane. Anyone remember it?

I had a couple by Roger Dean I think that sounded like that. I loved them and they made me feel very sophisticated. 😂

Oof, that’s a little vague given the plethora of 90s fantasy art that was in circulation then! Try Googling 90s fantasy landscape artists as there are several who were very popular. Your description makes me think it could have been someone like John Stephens or James McCarthy…

This obviously has a figure in but could kind of fit the bill??

Mike Oldfield had some weird and wonderful art work on his album covers....is it similar??

Google Jimmy Cauty Glastonbury and Jimmy Cauty Avebury, it could be one of those

@MrsBucketHat love that painting I use it when I’m teaching the Romantic Poets.

Sorry I’m being vague. I’ve looked at the suggestions so far but no luck. It was in a landscape format and had quite a few trees/hills and a blue sky. It was obvious fantasy if that makes sense. Quite pale colours.

I remember that poster @Baconking 😀

I meant to type ‘wasn’t obvious fantasy’

Patrick Woodroffe? Or Alan Lee?

Justonemorecoffeeplease · Yesterday 20:53

Alan Lee is close but I don’t think it’s him.

Sorry for the derail OP but this has made me remember going into Athena and flicking through the stands of posters.

Everything from the latest pop stars to Snoopy or Winnie the Pooh or fantastic art works.

Then into the Body Shop next door for some coconut shampoo and a bottle of White Musk.

Happy memories.

I feel like I know it and it was drawn by someone now famous in another totally different field....I looked up Bill Bailey and I dont think it's him but someone like that?

I've remembered...Jimmy Cauty from KLF
