SPILL NEWS: DAVID BOWIE PASSES AWAY AT THE AGE OF 69

SPILL ARTIST PORTRAIT BY DANIEL ADAMS: DAVID BOWIE

David Bowie

THE SPILL MAGAZINE ARTIST PORTRAIT:
DAVID BOWIE

Spill Magazine would like to offer our sincerest condolences to Mr. David Bowie’s family and followers at this time. We had expected to publish Daniel Adams’ portrait of this monumental figure in music later next week, but in light of recent events we would like to offer this fragile yet beautifully composed illustration of how Daniel envisioned David Bowie as our way of a tribute.

As many, many others have already noted earlier today, “Planet Earth is blue and there’s nothing I can do.”

RIP David Bowie (January 8, 1947-January 10, 2016).
