Paintings by David Bowie as featured in fan magazine, Panic In Detroit

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in New Art on Tuesday 9 April 2013

David Bowie was king of dodging stupid questions and traps during interviews. I’ve always admired his insane media skills. When asked if he thought his music was any good, he’d frequently point out that he was actually a painter, not a musician. And guess what? He was telling the truth. Here are a few of his [...]

Bowie2001: the ultimate space oddity remix

Annie Churdar Contributor

By Annie Churdar in New Music on Wednesday 3 April 2013

One time I was suckered into watching 2001: A Space Odyssey. I sat through hours of it, hoping it would all be worth while, hoping it would all make sense.  Finally, hours later the movie ended and I was still in the dark. The movie was completely lost on me. But then, year later someone [...]

Beautifully Strange David Bowie Doll

Cheyenne Tulsa Contributor

By Cheyenne Tulsa in New Art on Friday 22 March 2013

These freakishly beautiful and realistic David Bowie Dolls are the work of New York-based author and skier E.V. Svetova. Featured on the DeviantArt site (under the name Katyok), Svetova doesn’t make the 70cm high polyurethane resin dolls themselves but customises them with paint and Yamamoto-like style. Sadly, they’re not for sale, instead they are ‘created [...]

Go big or go home. Beck is breathing new life into David Bowie’s classic song Sound and Vision by bringing together over 160 musicians. That’s right, he’s creating a David Bowie orchestra. And the actual performance will include a stage that surrounds the audience to really bring everyone into the music. And with the help [...]

Yes, yes, we know, we just raved about David Bowie’s amazing transformation into every damn thing the other day, but just look at him here, a gazillion light years ahead of the Invisible Bikes phenomenon, humans and cats alike. David Bowie will be David Bowie.

David Bowie As Everyone Tumblr

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in New Trends on Saturday 17 November 2012

Halt your brains now, because here’s something deep: what if David Bowie was omnipresent? Hell, what if he was… omni-person? In steps this blog that puts Bowie’s face where it belongs: on everyone and everything. He’s Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, a ‘sexy sexy’ cactus, crystal balls, Han Solo, insectile demons, The Cure’s Robert Smith and all of Motley Crue. Some of these Photoshopped efforts are frankly quite terrifying.

SHORT VIDEO: David Bowie’s teeth over the years

Low Lai Chow Contributor

By Low Lai Chow in Video on Tuesday 5 June 2012

I recently caught 1983 film Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, and all I could look at was young David Bowie’s really cool alien fang-like teeth. This mini documentary I dug up on YouTube analyses how his teeth has changed over the years. Special mention must be made of the dental expert (or ‘Surgeon to the Stars’, [...]

By Tobias Hall in New Art on Wednesday 30 November 2011

It’s almost been a year since I painted my first mural, so I decided to collect them all and publish them in one super-duper mural project. The murals have largely been created for Zizzi, who use an artist in every restaurant they open or refurbish and always set a brief which is relevant to the [...]

Rate My Mullet

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in New Fashion on Monday 18 January 2010

Were mullets ever really ‘in’? Okay, so David Bowie rocked a decent one during his Aladdin Sane period, but then Billy Ray Cyrus went and ruined it all with his tangled mess. Amongst the hirsute members of The Rate My Mullet website, this ubiquitous hairstyle has clearly never gone out of (or perhaps, more likely, into) fashion. Now you can vote on which mullet takes the cake. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

We Fell To Earth’s Secret Playlist

Zolton Contributor

By Zolton in Cool Websites on Monday 11 January 2010

We Fell To Earth’s debut album contains grains of that desert night ambiance. Richard and Wendy’s harmonise beautifully on the likes of Lights Out, but tasty electronics are never far away, notably on the pulsing, bleeping Sovereign. We checked in with Wendy Rae Fowler and asked her about the songs that we’re on high rotation [...]
