Curio: Bowie Forever
Pt 1 Goodbye to Bowie via Velvet Goldmine
Pt 2 Goodbye to Bowie....and Curio, for now
Alexa here, still reeling over the loss of David Bowie. It really took the steam out of me today, as I'm sure it did a lot of you. He was such a touchstone that it felt as if he would never die. But he lives on as inspiration.
And so too might Curio. I hope it does. If not in this exact form. This weekly arts & crafts series, which Nathaniel invited me to do years ago, has had a long run at TFE but I must move on for 2016. (Parenthood really alters the life of a cinephile.)
But back to Bowie. I've been enjoying seeing some of this inspiration filtered through the minds of others, so here are a few some beautiful and fun curios -- everything from a career spanning animated gif, to realistic dolls, and more traditional fan art.
Celebrate the icon with wide eyes after the jump...

No Alexa!! You will be missed. I loved the Curio section. All the best for 2016.
That is beautiful.
I really hope you stay on and continue this, Alexa. It's one of my favourite columns.
Amir -- unfortunately Alexa did decide to move on hence the note about doing so. Curio will go quiet for a bit and then we'll decide what to do. I love the column too.
Thanks Andrew and Amir! I'm gonna miss it, but it's time.
