Description
Ink, coloured paper, chinese watercolour & inkjet on paperA4
July-Aug 2003
This is also another Warhol attempt. I was very inspired by the set of prints that he made of Mick Jagger using this similar form of collage work. Covering a photo with coloured paper and extending the drawing to look as if the coloured paper was underneath the image itself.
I don't know whether it was ever of wish of David's that Andy Warhol would do a set of prints on him. Afterall, Andy did such a huge range paintings/prints on musicians from Mick Jagger, Lou Reed, The Velvet Underground, Elvis, etc etc. I don't think he ever did anything on David Bowie. So here I am stepping in and doing something Warholian in tribute to the great David Bowie.
At the moment there are only 4 scans. I'm still working on more... hopefully I'll get them up soon. Its an unfinished series and I don't think it'll ever be complete. I will keep adding more and more to this Bowie collage collection.

Love this. I don't think anything that combines Bowie and Warhol could ever be bad.

Wow, I've been looking for this for a loong time!
I bet Warhol refused to do Bowie because of the song Bowie wrote about him. It's such a shame though, cause Bowie's the first thing that pops up in my head when you mention beauty..
Well, wham bam thank you ma'am! You're awesome for doing this!

Oh what an amazing concept! David surely does deserve such a tribute. ^_^ I especially love the top two. It would be cool to see them on their own as well.

Brilliant. I wish I could print it out and have it fitted to cover my one wall. It's a shame Andy never did David. I mean, think of all of the art geeks who would worship it. Anyway, amazing. I love it.

I had the pleasure of seeing said Mick Jagger print at Warhol's American Dream display in Scottsdale, Arizona. You have brought the same flavor to this one of Bowie. I was thinking of attempting the same idea- definitely think you have done a better job than I could have.

I had to do a series in the same style of Catherine Zeta Jones, and as I was working on it, my mother said I should do some of David Bowie, and it reminded me of how I'd been meaning to fave this! Isn't it odd she suggests doing some of Bowie, and on dA he is the only person I have seen this Warhol mick jagger style used on.
Anyway, captured it perfectly!
