THE RISE AND FALL OF ZIGGY STARDUST AND THE SPIDER FROM MARS
Client:
Rolling
Stone & Adobe
Project type: Album Artwork

David Bowie’s alter-ego ‘Ziggy Stardust’, Rolling Stone UK and Adobe have asked

Stardust and the Spiders from Mars’, using Adobe’s new David Bowie inspired
toolkit.

The iconic imagery acts as the focal element, descending and ascending simultaneously, in line with his centrality in a narrative that presents a complete “birth-to-death chronology” of Ziggy.
