Description
It’s only forever
Not long at all
Lost and lonely
That’s Underground
——

A week late, but it took a while to colour it. Rest in peace David Bowie, your music and your magic will be sorely missed.

I would also like to dedicate this to my friend Tamara, and to Pika-la-Cynique , without whom my Bowie education would never have happened.

He could not have asked for a more beautiful piece to be made in his memory, nor could we. 
Thank you for this drawing.

Probably not. While I'm sorry to hear of his passing as well he didn't have as profound an impact on my life as Bowie did.

This is a beautiful tribute. Your art always inspires me to work harder on my own, but this one actually moved me to tears, especially with the song reference. I heard it in my head as I saw the lyrics and emotions started pouring out, and it just doubles in on itself the longer I stare at the picture.

It doesn't matter that it's a week later. It's a great piece. I was planning to draw him as well, but I'm currently working on a portrait of my teacher who died in november last year.
