Changing Faces of Bowie

A hundred and one artists and designers have contributed to a typographic screenprint created exclusively for the V&A as part of its activity around its imminent David Bowie Is exhibition (March 23-July 28).

We were one of those asked, Blam (aka Mark Blamire of Print-Process), approached dozens of designers inviting each of them to produce the word ‘Bowie’ in a favourite or bespoke typeface of their choice or creation.

This is our response – 70s glam hand drawn type, fat and bloated like the whole glam movement, but the antithesis of Bowie himself at this time.
