David Jones. Major
Tom. Ziggy. The Thin White Duke. There’s Old Wave. There’s New Wave. And there’s David Bowie…
First Bowie song I ever heard was Fame. First Bowie album I ever bought was
Heroes. I played Diamond Dogs so many
times I wore out 3 copies. It still
sounds great.
I’ve drawn Bowie many times.
I had a Bowie drawing in my portfolio when I applied to RISD.
This one turned out okay.
It’s slightly exaggerated – or badly drawn, I forget which. Either way, I was trying to do something that I still couldn’t pull off yet. I was
still struggling, still stiff – even after 20 drawings. Progress is so slow. We do, and keep doing.
So I later made amends to Bowie.
