I can't even express the influence that David Bowie has had on my life, music, and art. It seemed he had an album and persona that fit all of the stages in my life. I don't often feel such a deep connection to a performer or artist, but with him, I felt a kinship. So when the Flickr Friday topic of #Mars came up, I thought immediately of the "Spiders From Mars", "Life on Mars" and so on. So here is my tribute to the Starman and my entry into this week's Flickr Friday.

One of my first albums was The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars. I never quite quit listening to David Bowie. That he was able to lead a semi-normal life in Manhattan with his wife Iman is gratifying to me. So many of the famous and glamorous get sucked up into their minds, just like Ziggy.
RIP David Jones. Rest in Peace.

When I heard the news of David Bowie's passing, I was really bummed and wanted to create something to honor his memory. My Pullip Selia, who also shares two different colors eyes, was my inspiration behind this idea. You will be missed, David. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts with the world.

Recently found a picture of David Bowie that I took, and was amazed that I had met and photographed him. Totally gone from my memory banks. Probably Maple Leaf Gardens 1978 in Toronto.
Marks are for the printer of the paper to scan and strip the pix in. picture went with my review (which I haven't re-found yet)

David Bowie 8-1-1947 - 10-1-2016
"Look up here, I'm in heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now"
Rest In Peace David. I'm glad I was part of the journey.

A Heteropoda sp. huntsman spider (H. davidbowie?) with prey - a grasshopper. More tropical spiders: orionmystery.blogspot.com/2012/01/tropical-spiders.html
is a species of huntsman spider of the Heteropoda genus. It was described from Cameron Highlands in peninsular Malaysia and named in honor of singer David Bowie.
Heteropoda davidbowie was first described by Peter Jäger in 2008, based on a specimen collected by G. Ackermann in 2007 in the Cameron Highlands of peninsular Malaysia. The species name honors David Bowie, with particular reference to songs such as "Glass Spider" (from the 1987 album Never Let Me Down), and the resemblance of the frontal view of the spider to the singer's painted face in his early career.
