Art Auction: The Face of Bowie (9x12 Pen and Ink)

Just in time for Spring and the release of David Bowie's new album The Next Day, I have set up a new auction featuring an illustration entitled The Face of Bowie....

 

....the Doctor Who fans out there will get the reference in the title.

 

The illustration is a variation of an earlier one I did called The Five Bowies. This time I decided to go with three of them. I went with two of my favorite versions of Bowie from Ziggy Stardust and the Earthling Album. But this time I decided to include Bowie as he looked in the Ashes to Ashes video.

 

The illustration itself is 9x12 and inked in Deleter Black Drawing Ink with Crow Quill Pen on Strathmore Smooth Bristol Board.

Art Auction: The Face of Bowie (9x12 Pen and Ink)

 

More auctions to come in the next few weeks. So stay tuned!!

You stay. We belong dead.

In the spirit of Halloween (which is a few days away... and no puns intended... really... honest), I thought I'd post this little ditty by Ziggy Stardust/The Thin White Duke himself Mr. David Bowie off of his 1974 album Diamond Dogs.

Although Bowie had originally intended the album to be a rock opera based on George Orwell's novel 1984 (Orwell's widow ultimately did not give him permission) and the title of the song was taken from a line in the book, However for some reason the title reminds me more of Karloff's immortal line at the end of The Bride of Frankenstein: "You stay. We belong dead."

Happy Halloween one and all.
