Bowie's right eye above his left, each drawn in colored pencil with the lashes and the wet line of the lid, the bolt crossing both in red and blue, each labeled in pencil underneath. The pupils don't match. A punch from a school friend in 1962 left the left pupil permanently open, so it read darker ever after.

Product FAQ

Why did David Bowie's eyes look like different colors?

They were in fact the same color. In 1962 a schoolfriend, George Underwood, punched him during an argument and permanently damaged the muscles of his left iris. The pupil stayed dilated for life, so that eye read as darker — a condition called anisocoria, rather than two different eye colors.

What is labeled on this David Bowie eyes print?

The two studies are hand-lettered "David Bowie's right eye" and "David Bowie's left eye." Set one above the other, the difference between the two pupils is the whole point of the drawing.

What medium is the David Bowie eyes drawing?

Colored pencil, worked photorealistically — the lashes, the wet line of the lower lid and the skin tone are all built up in layers. The Aladdin Sane bolt crosses both studies in red and blue.

What pairs well with the Bowie Eyes Study?

The Texas Matchbox drawing is its designed companion — the two were made as a pair and are also sold together as the Bowie Two Print Set. Adding Cowboy Bowie or the Ashes to Ashes painting turns the corner into a full Bowie wall. All drawn by Caya Crum and 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.
