Bowie in a blue jacket and pink scarf, red hair, an eyepatch, a pink guitar across his chest, the words of the 1980 chorus hand-lettered in navy around the edges of the frame. Everything in pink, red and blue and nothing quiet about it. Major Tom, eleven years on.

Product FAQ

Which David Bowie song is this print about?

"Ashes to Ashes," released in 1980 on Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps). Caya Crum hand-lettered the lyric around the figure so that the words and the painting arrive together.

What is the story behind the Ashes to Ashes lyric?

The song reaches back to "Space Oddity" and reopens that story eleven years on: the astronaut Bowie sent up in 1969 is brought back down, and the lyric is blunt about what became of him. It is one of the rare pop songs that wrote its own sequel.

What is David Bowie holding in this painting?

A guitar, painted in pinks and reds against the blue of his suit. The palette is doing deliberate work — the piece is built to read as a color object from across a room, which most David Bowie posters are not.

Who painted this David Bowie art print?

Caya Crum, one of the four Crum artists in the family. Printed to order.

Will this look like an original painting or a print?

Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper’s own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it’s an original or a print. That’s intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are art prints that carry the soul of the original.

What sizes does this print come in?

Our art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.

How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?

Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
