Long before "inclusivity" was a buzzword, David Bowie was a beacon for the marginalized. By declaring his bisexuality in 1972 and wearing dresses on album covers, he told every kid who felt "alien" that they weren't alone and that they were just ahead of their time. He turned "weirdness" into a superpower. He was a catalyst that changed ideas globally for millions of people.
I painted this shortly after his passing as a homage to the legend. The painting is also an ode to his alter-ago Ziggy Stardust.
