DETAILS
It wasn’t until the early 1970s, with the release of Hunky Dory in 1971 and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars a year later, that Bowie became a global sensation. This success came with the arrival of Bowie’s first major alter ego persona, Ziggy Stardust. Before releasing his follow-up seventh album, Aladdin Sane, in 1973, Bowie had already retired the persona and was toying with the next. This constant metamorphosis and reinvention would ultimately continue to define Bowie’s long and illustrious career, and it was something that helped him remain relevant for so many years.
While no singular Bowie album can encapsulate his uniquely diverse and multifaceted career, Diamond Dogs seems to glue together a significant collection of his most essential phases and milestones, and for that reason it is definitely one of his most well balanced and all-encompassing records.

INTERVIEW WITH LUKE MARSH
Artist Luke Marsh spoke with Collectionzz's Steven Kotchek about David Bowie Diamond Dogs 50th Anniversary project.
SK: For anyone who hasn't seen or collected your art before, how would describe your style?
LM: My illustration style blends retro aesthetics with modern design, aiming to create artwork with a bold, cinematic, and evocative feel. This piece combines graphic art and vintage elements, focusing on high drama and theatrical flair—an approach I felt was fitting for an icon like Bowie.
SK: Going into this project did you have any thoughts about some of the themes you wanted to emphasize, especially being this was a transitional time in Bowie's career?
LM: I wanted to emphasise the dystopian and rebellious themes of the record. I chose a vibrant red-and-black palette to convey intensity and danger. I also wanted to include “Hunger City”, the city on which the album is based, and drew inspiration from the original set design for the Diamond Dogs Tour.
SK: Now that we're finally able to share this art with the world, what are some of your favorite things about the final result?
MN: My favorite part of the piece is the contrast: Bowie’s composed elegance and the dog’s primal energy set against the bold, theatrical backdrop. Bowie has always been a huge inspiration to me as an artist. His ability to continually reinvent himself while staying true to his vision is something I deeply admire.
SK: I always ask - Luke Marsh's favorite Bowie song is...
LM: While my favorite Bowie song changes often, “Rebel Rebel” from this album holds a special place as a defiant and timeless anthem.
