I never was a fan of David Bowie.

I always found him weird with his Ziggy Stardust persona, his music was ok but that’s about it.

Since two months or two I began to get more curious about Bowie. On the radio they talked about him a lot because of his exhibition in the Groninger Museum. I knew he had created a lot of different songs and that he’s considered being very influential in the rock music of the seventies and eighties I even wanted to go to David Bowie Is even though it's more than three hours by train..

And now he’s not with us anymore.

I never do portraits so I hope I did him some justice.. I went crazy with textures and things but in the end it was far too much - I still don't know if it works right now. I might revisit this thing these days, but have it for now. I just had to draw something for this Picasso of rock music.
