Description

I won't claim to be his biggest fan, the truth is I knew very little about David Bowie - of course I appreciated his talent, and loved many of his songs - but I was never a BIG FAN.  What I can admire is his ability to reinvent himself, his music and his style - he was way ahead of the curve and a visionary - creating trends, not just following them - a true artist.

His Obituary in the Telegraph newspaper explains who he was and what he meant to many people far better than I ever could, so please follow the link if you want to discover more about this great man. www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries…

Drawn on Bristol Board Smooth paper, using normal graphite pencils (Faber Castell) measuring 34cm x 40cm - time spent around 20+ hours :)
