12:56 PM. Working with camouflage. I used the black bar at the bottom of the original book design in order to continue this gouache painting allowing Bowie’s face to peek through the openings. The movie version by Nicholas Roeg from the ‘70s is great. Its plot involves an alien visiting our earth in search of water for his dying planet and family. Right now, Los Angeles is experiencing its own lack of water due to 4 consecutive years of drought. No one’s dying that I’m aware of but the coincidences between cinema and reality are surreal.
