Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes.

I'm very excited to reveal the latest project I've been secretly working away on! There's no purpose to this at all other than my own personal enjoyment. I present to you, David Bowie:


(Clicking should give you the full size.) Although I'm sure it's been done before, I really wanted to draw all of Bowie's assorted eras, while listening to his music on loop, of course. And it was a lot of fun doing the research. Here is a helpful guide if you're unfamiliar with any of the Bowies above, going from left to right:

1967: Mod Bowie with the self-titled debut that didn't catch on
1969: Space Oddity psychedelic folk Bowie
1970: Man Who Sold The World Bowie with long golden locks and a dress
1972: Ziggy Stardust
1975: Young Americans soul funk Bowie
1976: The Thin White Duke
1977: Bowie in Berlin recovering from all that cocaine
1980: Clown Bowie from the video Ashes to Ashes
1983: Let's Dance pop success Bowie
1986: Jareth the Goblin King
1990: Bowie in his hard rock band Tin Machine
1995: Super crazy Earthling era Bowie
1999: Chill millennium Bowie
2002: Reality era just about to retire Bowie
