My reaction after arriving at work yesterday morning was just to paint the man, I’m not even sure why i did it. it felt like some sense of solidarity or connection was needed. Throughout the day and into the night social media was filled with Bowie and this morning artists blogs (who needed a few minutes to catch up) are filled with tributes to the man. Stewart Maconie yesterday on 6music said that pop music is normally about being in a club or a gang but he created something for the people who felt the didn’t belong anywhere, that i’m the only person who feels like this. I fell asleep on the sofa last night wondering how many other people were, at that very moment, sleepily thinking of him. Probably quite a few, and that makes me feel pretty darn good.

I don’t usually put my chalk board work up on this blog but a few people have asked to see some recent work so here you go. This was done a couple of weeks ago for Lululemon Athletica in Westfields centre.
