David Bowie has been my muse since I was six. While our idols evolve as we grow, mine stayed the same. I always like to say I chose the right person to tap for inspiration from the get-go. My sister and I first discovered him in Toronto as young kids through teenage cousins as Ziggy Stardust. His hair and costumes were intriguing to an art-inclined child. As I grew older, my appreciation for him grew deeper in meaning. His life and career provided endless hours of discovery. Today, some 30 years later, I still am studying him, although I must admit, I re-visit stories and interviews of him that I already know word for word because I want to relive those moments of awe.
