Great composition. 

 

"...from Manchester...", is this a physical piece? If so what scale please

Paul, really nice work.

 

I really like the Ziggy and circuit board sections. I can hear Starman, radio interference, some rain on the busy streets and a concert audience cheering. Yup! You've nailed it!

 

That needs to be a future cover, of a really oversized coffee-table book, called "Berlin and back." The sort of thing that Taschen is famed for.

 

I've also found this image below, which harks bark to his time in cold war Berlin. The sepia adds age, whereas the VW and his right eye show a real affinity towards his time in Germany: two eye colours, two countries and two contrasting experiences.

David Bowie’s eyes weren’t really two different colours. The iris in the damaged eye was simply so thin that it looked darker than the iris in his other eye, but both were actually blue.
