Product description
On January 29, 1972, at the Assembly Room in Aylesbury, the world witnessed the official birth of a legend. This poster captures that pivotal moment in rock history through the vibrant, hand-drawn lens of artist John Judkins. The artwork features a striking high-contrast portrait of Bowie with his signature feathered hair, set against a saturated canary yellow background. Bold, psychedelic typography in deep purple and electric blue announces the Spiders from Mars, creating a visual explosion that perfectly mirrors the energy of the glam rock era.
Looking at this piece evokes the raw, experimental spirit of the early seventies. It is more than just a promotional graphic; it is a time capsule of a cultural shift. The use of teal eyeshadow and hot pink lips on the portrait emphasizes the gender-bending, boundary-pushing aesthetic that Bowie pioneered. The composition feels loud and unapologetic, capturing the magnetism of a performer who was about to change the landscape of popular music forever.
Those drawn to classic rock posters will recognise the appeal here, much as they would in our david bowie prints.
