Vic is a hopeless romantic who was at Screaming Lord Byron's concert with a girl, Screaming Lord Byron ends up leaving the concert with her as they already knew each other from Peru

The blind prophet

Lazarus

Blackstar

Davids last character, likely blind as a symbol of David being blinded by fear of his inevitable death

Ask blog Intro post - Tyr the "Damoiseau" |

...Sat on the dry, cracked yellowish-red ground of a canyon little ways off from the clan he called home-- The young man hums an innocently jovial lullaby under his breath in sonorously harmonic tone.

In his lap rests a ribcage and skull perfectly preserved, the wooden greaves cast to lay on the ground at his feet. A soft, tender smile of sweetly serene, tranquil vivacious mischief plays on his lips --Just like his melody and tone of low, near breathless hiss of winter's chill and gruff rasp of his old light baritone cadence.

"Welcome, traveler. Don't be afraid, come closer." -There's a knowing gleam to his affable, mildly amused words of beckoning invitation, eyes of dark russet and paler reddish-brown cast down.. but not of shame, demure nor pensiveness and sorrow. How is the song still being sung, when the Mauler clearly speaks rather than hum?

It's like he knew of your arrival, long in advance.

The eyelids fall shut, hiding away the mis-matched omniscient gaze speckled with pitch-black, molten silver and fiery auburn. ....Yet it's like those eyes dril into you still regardless, through.

"Ask away. What would you want to know, Weary soul?"

Get Your Art Fix!

"As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I've got left?" ~ David Bowie

"David Bowie, The Studio" by Markus Klinko, 2001

Series: Bowie Unseen

Arty-Fact: This stunning shot of David Bowie is from Markus' photo session for the cover of "Heathen", released in 2002.

"[David] is one of the very few celebrities that I have worked with who personally got involved, and was extremely communicative and very hands-on in the process. He asked if I could come over to a Broadway recording studio and listen to some tracks. I went over the next day. I wandered around the old, understated recording studio to find Bowie and his producer, Tony Visconti, in one of the rooms. Bowie said that wanted to play some of the new songs for me before discussing the album art. The mental image of Bowie sitting by a window, smoking cigarettes while his producer played the rough mixes from the board, is a memory that I could never forget. After listening to almost the entire album together, we started talking about the shoot. He had many ideas and was very precise about them." ~ Markus Klinko
