Hi Blam,
Our next issue of Lemon will be themed “Heroes” and will celebrate Bowie’s creative influence on four decades of popular culture. We did a similar treatment for Stanley Kubrick in our last issue. We’re really excited about it as we’re all big Bowie fans.
Two versions of the cover for the issue will feature Daft Punk, (see mock-ups in animation above) posed in Bowie’s classic “Heroes” pose and with lightning bolts reflected on their helmets.
Also featured in the issue will be:
? A re-imagining of scenes from “The Man Who Fell to Earth” by photographer Guido Vitti
? A feature on the making of Keanan Duffty’s Bowie for Target collection, with never-before-seen concept sketches
? A Flexi-disc single of “Boy’s Keep Swinging” by Keanan’s band Slinky Vagabond (with Earl Slick)
? Bowie-inspired artwork by various artists, including Peter Max, Kim Hiorthoy and more
? A special Ziggy Stardust cocktail recipe by mixologist Clif Travers
? Plus articles on John Hurt, Iggy Pop, Bowie cover artist Rex Ray, Brian Eno’s “Oblique Strategies” cards, Justice, These New Puritans, Battles, Peter Saville, Sam Riley, Buzz Aldrin and much more. Each article will be named after a different Bowie song (“Hallo Spaceboy” for astronaut Buzz Aldrin, “Let’s Dance” for Daft Punk, etc).
Best, Kevin Grady
