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.

...And your attempt succeeded! very Warhole-ish, and that's an awesome thing. I love how gentle and light the sketches seem beside the harsh lined photos. Simply beautiful! :D
And I believe Bowie would want Warhole to make a portrait of him.. if he were still alive, that is. I got the impression that Bowie was quite the fan of his- he met him and babbled on and on about how much he adores him, or so he said in an interview once. Plus, he wrote him a song and all..
*wow*, I just talked a lot... I'm gonna go there now. :nod:
