Oh Oh, yeah Ziggy played guitar Jamming good with Weird and Gilly And the Spiders from Mars He played it left hand But made it too far Became the special man Then we were Ziggy's band Ziggy really sang Screwed-up eyes and screwed-down hairdo Like some cat from Japan He could lick'em by smiling He could leave'em to hang They came on so loaded, man Well-hung and snow-white tan So where were the spiders While the fly tried to break our bones? With just the beer light to guide us So we bitched about his fans And should we crush his sweet hands? Oh
Fascinat de călătoriile în spațiu și inspirat de rockerul britanic Vince Taylor (cel care își dusese la extrem figura de star și se autointitulase Mateus, o figură mesianică venită din spațiu), David Bowie își crează personajul Ziggy Stardust ca un mijloc de evadare mentală și profesională, un tribut adus glam-rock-ului, costumelor și concertelor flamboaiante.
Părul portocaliu și fulgerul roș-albastru bazat pe machiajul și apariția personajului Malcolm McDowell din “A Clockwork Orange“, anisocoria lui David Bowie, toate aceste elemente au conturat o imagine ce m-a fascinat de când eram mică.
Mm-hmm Ziggy played for time Jiving us that we were voodoo The kids were just crass He was the nazz With God-given ass He took it all too far But, boy, could he play guitar Making love with his ego Ziggy sucked up into his mind, ah Like a leper messiah When the kids had killed the man I had to break up the band Oh, yeah
Am ales să reinterpretez explozia de culori a lui Ziggy într-un portret alb-negru, folosind creionul mecanic (rOtring 800 / 0,5. mm) și cel cu grafit (Bic Evolution HB/2) cu o presărare de glitter gri antracit (H&M) cu irizații multicolore.
