I really dig this portrait of David Bowie by Scott Fischer.

(Follow the link for the full, embiggened experience.)

A painting of David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust. He's in profile facing to the right. His head is tilted slightly back and his eyes are closed. A red lightning bolt crosses Ziggy's closed eye and down his cheek. His hair is a little wild and a striking red. He wears a black jacket with a high collar. The collar has embroidery of a spider web with a fly in the center. In front of Ziggy is a mechanical spider with a windup watch where the head would be. Behind Ziggy Stardust is a red planet and beyond that a sky of stars some falling in the foreground from the top trailing streaks of light as they go.
