This hand-drawn David Bowie poster captures the most electrifying night in glam rock history — Tuesday, July 3rd, 1973, at the Hammersmith Odeon, London. The night David Bowie killed Ziggy Stardust. Illustrated entirely by hand in our Lisbon studio, this vintage-style concert poster brings that legendary farewell back to life in extraordinary detail.
 
At the centre stands Bowie performing as Ziggy — hands raised, fingers spread, cradling his own face in a pose as theatrical as the man himself. His eyes lock directly onto yours, a third eye circle glowing on his forehead — a nod to the cosmic, otherworldly persona that had captivated audiences for two years. The Ziggy mullet, rendered in deep burgundy and shadow, crowns the composition like a flame.
 
Flanking the portrait are two vinyl records, a tribute to the albums that defined an era: Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, Pin Ups. Art Deco lightning bolts rise on either side, echoing the iconic Aladdin Sane flash that became one of rock's most recognisable symbols.
 
The hand-lettered psychedelic typography spells out "DAVID BOWIE — PERFORMING AS — ZIGGY STARDUST" in ornate swirling forms inspired by the concert posters of the early 70s. Hypnotic concentric waves and scattered stars fill the background, giving the whole piece the feel of a transmission from another planet.
 
Anchoring the bottom: Hammersmith Odeon, London — Tuesday, July 3rd, 1973. The last night Ziggy Stardust ever performed. Bowie announced his retirement from touring that evening, shocking an audience that had no idea it was coming.
 
A piece for fans who know exactly what that night meant.
