David Bowie-inspired 'The Man Who Sold The World' v1 Art PrintThis is one of two versions of done for David Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold The World'.

This is one of two versions of done for David Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold The World'. It uses a vintage, retro WWI propaganda poster to highlight the lyrics about 'I smiled and shook his hand', while somehow being involved in 'selling the world'. I like a good literal interpretation, sometimes.

Some of you young'uns might be surprised to learn that this is David Bowie's song, and not Kurt Cobain/Nirvana's song, thanks to their MTV Unplugged concert, but if you listen to the actual concert, you'll note that Cobain gives credit: "that was a David Bowie song" in his trademark deadpan drawl. If you're older, you might think of Lulu first, for similar reasons.

You might be obsessed with this song if you're a musician: its bass scales in the chorus progression are remarkably difficult. Or you might just be a Bowie or Nirvana fan. Regardless, it's available in five different sizes over three formats (poster prints, ready to hang framed prints, stretched canvas), as well as as a Symfonisk IKEA Sonos speaker cover.
