Coloured pencils are vastly underrated, especially when doodling absolutely mindlessly as in this example. They really are the dill pickle in one’s aimless mental hamburger.

David Bowie 'Space Oddity' 45th Anniversary Print

'Ground Control to Major Tom…' Can you believe it’s 45 years since ‘Space Oddity’ was released as a single? Crazy, eh? Released on 11 July 1969. And so now I wonder about Major Tom, and I wonder if, as the song still plays, he’s still up there, in the imaginary pop-osphere, floating in his tin can. So I made this print to commemorate the anniversary. It’s available now in the Standard Designs shop on Etsy.

It’s simple but effective, with a little bit of the late Pop Art of the period in the way the Earth is heavily colour halftoned, and a touch of the Art Deco revival of the early 1970s in the typography.

It’d look great on your wall. Treat yourself to one here.
