Back in early 2016, when I first started focusing on turning my Sharpie drawings into an income, Scotty Zabielski up in the Chicago area, was sending me photos of him riding, and keeping me working. I still haven't met him in person, but he's totally helped me out in a whole bunch of ways these last couple of years. Thank you for that Scotty.
Last summer, when the Winston-Salem drama was starting to get out of control, he asked me to do a David Bowie drawing for him, when I got a chance. It took several months, but I finally finished it today. And yes, according to two different documentaries I watched about him, David took his stage name from American pioneer and adventurer, Jim Bowie. After getting shot in a fight, Jim's brother, Rezin, decided to help Jim defend himself. Rezin had a huge ass knife made for Jim. The initial design got changed a few times, but the massive knife has been known as the Bowie knife ever since. Because David Bowie spent his life on the cutting edge of music, I decided to work the knife into the picture.
This one is my standard, large drawing size, 18" X 24", and done in Sharpies on paper in my still unique #sharpiescribblestyle. I'll get Mr. Bowie on his way as soon as I can Scotty, and let's hope he doesn't go AWOL and become a space oddity.
