Hi!! I’ve been obsessed with Bowie for years and have decided to finally make a blog dedicated to him!
My favourite Bowie era / album / song changes all of the time .. But I think my top 3 albums as i write this (16/07/2025) would probably be Ziggy Stardust, Diamond Dogs, and Scary Monsters :)
I’ll probably use this to share clips and information about Bowie I like (as well as reblog lots of Bowie stuff :p)
In terms of music, I also like: T. Rex, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, My Chemical Romance,, and so much more !!
(But Bowie is the one I am the least normal about lol)

#david bowie — all things bowie lol
#visual — david bowie photos or videos
#art — david bowie fanart
#influx — my own posts, not reblogs
#other — not bowie related :o
PS i also sometimes post about bowie on my main blog @discoddity
i made this to represent the feelings of experiencing beauty such as listening to a really good song lol
• stars + nebula + the sea of stars are used because …
^ their beauty. and also to show how the experience feels so impressive that its crazy that a human created it if that makes sense. and for the stars + nebula because its ‘out of this world’
• an image of fireworks is used because …
^ another example of humans creating impressive beauty
While dyspraxia affects my balance it also affects my fine motor skills as well.
It's only due to 35 years of practice that I can draw as well as I can. I see absolutely stunning art done by people 2 decades younger than me and wonder if I could've been that good if I just didn't have dyspraxia.
i edited some photos together to make a sort of representation of my feelings related to my dyspraxia :]
background — Tetris
i sometimes compare my experiences with dyspraxia to tetris. specifically the parts where its really fast and although you might know exactly where you want your pieces to go and how to do it, you will still struggle to place it where you want to due to the speed. when it comes to my dyspraxia, its not the speed its just my coordination, i often know what i want to do and how to do it but i still just can’t do it
for example, with tying shoelaces, i know the exact method of how to do it, but they always end up coming undone. and i know how to kick a ball, but often my foot still misses or doesn’t kick it the way i want to. and i know how to write neatly, but it just doesn’t come out that way. there are many other examples of how dyspraxia affects me in this way, but yeah, thats why i compare it to tetris :)
colour
i chose green because of how its associated with envy / jealousy. this applied to the images of football and perfectly tied laces is to show that i envy people who can do these things without struggle (ps i know i shouldn’t feel envy/jealousy over this, i don’t feel it as bad anymore but it does frustrate me to some extent that things that other people don’t even think about feel like such a challenge to me)
calibrating smartboard
i found this one a bit funny lol. if you’re unfamiliar, smartboards are/were often used in schools and teachers often have to recalibrate them. the text “Press center of target until it turns green” and the symbol below it are both from the screen that shows when calibrating a smartboard.
i used the frosted glass effect on the target to make it unclear where the center is, this is to represent how something as simple as pressing the center of the target is not as easy for me. i also used this because i thought an uncalibrated board could also serve as a metaphor for dyspraxia, for example when a teacher tries to write on one part of the board but it shows up at the wrong place, this feels similar to how sometimes i try to do stuff but it doesn’t turn out how i want it to
football + shoe
i explained this in the “background — Tetris” part but will do it again here and in more detail :)
the football / soccer ball is there to represent struggle with sports and physical activity as a whole really. but more specifically, i live in the UK and football is the most popular sport here and one of the most popular hobbies / activities in general. often when i try to kick a ball (or any other sports related activity) i don’t do it right, whether i miss or don’t do it strong enough, or even too strong, i almost always seem to do something wrong and it feels frustrating and puts me off sports in general lol
the shoe is perfectly tied and is there to show how tasks that are so easy for most people are challenging to me. i know how to tie shoelaces but they almost always end up coming undone and its the same for a lot of other simple daily tasks, for example i struggle with what many consider to be the easiest food to prepare, toast! cutting it and spreading butter are both difficult for me
i pixelated both of these to show how doing them well seems unattainable / hard to reach
—————
OK few things to say, please read before judging lol
i know these are very pessimistic view. i want to make it clear that people with dyspraxia can be very good at things such as sports and daily activities, and i know that i am able to improve. all this is meant to be is a representation of my feelings about struggling with so much. please don’t think i’m trying to say i CAN’T or will never be able to do any of these things, i know i am able to improve, this is just to show some of my general struggles/feelings, and i know others have it worse, this is sort of dramatic for the sake of the art(?) lol
this is my first time doing anything like this! sorry if its bad or anything, i just felt like making a silly visual representation :)
this is not what i was intending to use this blog for lol, sorry if you follow me for david bowie posts! just felt like posting this somewhere :)
probably something i missed, but yeah, this was fun to make/think of!
i am making this blog for david bowie for the forseeable future!
i’ve been obsessed with bowie for a few years but have only just decided i need to make a tumblr blog dedicated to it! (i do have a bowie tiktok account but i doubt i will ever reveal it lol)
posts before this are a mix of things but from now on this will be mostly bowie
