I drew this caricature shortly after David Bowie passed away in early 2016. I had always thought that his differently colored eyes were the result of contact lenses, but they’re actually the consequences of a fistfight he was in as a teenager… as fistfight with a lifelong friend and collaborator.
I tend to play it safe in caricature, but at that time everybody at the stand was drawing David Bowie, so I had some competition. It was made more difficult by his decade-to-decade transition to different fashion choices.
