David chose this image from The Man Who Fell To Earth (1975) for publicity posters in the late seventies. I love the lines of this image - there seems to be a seamless energy drawn in by the shielded source of fire. I feel some guilt for being the one who turned him onto the Gitane cigarette he's lighting. In my defence (and his), we did smoke this brand for aesthetic reasons; both of us being enamoured of Max Ponty's delightful artwork, which depicts a gypsy dancing girl shrouded in a plume of smoke. --Geoff MacCormack

Victoria A. ★★★★★

I'd been hunting for a shot that perfectly captures Bowie’s otherworldly stillness, and this one’s lines do exactly that. The energy in the image feels almost magnetic. It’s exactly the mood I wanted for my wall.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

The lighting in this shot really captures that "seamless energy" the description talks about—it practically glows on my wall. It's the kind of image that makes you stop and notice something new every time you pass by.

Elizabeth ★★★★★

Framed it in my hallway and the "seamless energy" described in the listing really comes through—the lines draw your eye exactly as promised. It arrived securely packaged and the print quality is sharp, no issues at all.
