What an amazing man – and how sad.
As children in the sixties, and art students in the eighties, we were inspired, and excited by David Bowie – enchanted, and delighted.
We awoke to the sad news this morning – our children, recently introduced to his phenomenal outpourings, were saddened too – his work will carry on in them – and others too.
We are feeling the sad news today… Planet Earth is Blue.
Everywhere we look on social media – every radio, every news programme.

As an ‘artist’ myself, my Art College days were certainly inspired by Bowie, from my make-up to my hairstyles, and it seems that never leaves us.
Here’s a couple of selections of wonderful work from graphic artist NickPrints – A typographic print detailing all David Bowie’s studio albums with accompanying key facts. Coincidentally completed the day before news of his tragic death was announced to a stunned world, Nick’s typographic print reflects on Bowie’s amazing back catalogue of studio albums. (and is printed on recycled paper too…)

Fashion, turn to the left… The world has lost a great artist.
