IMAGO MIRA's Halloween Collection & Homage to David Bowie

Overview of the 'Monsters, Monsters' Halloween Collection

The ‘Monsters, Monsters’ Halloween collection is a celebration of the whimsical and the weird, drawing inspiration from the tales of misunderstood creatures throughout folklore and pop culture. This bold collection features a range of illustrations that capture the essence of being an underdog in a world that often shuns uniqueness.

For my second collection, my monsters take inspiration from the multifaceted and groundbreaking style of David Bowie. Each creature embodies a unique facet of Bowie's iconic imagery, channeling his daring spirit and the bold persona he created through his music and art.

The collection highlights an array of vibrant colors and eclectic patterns, reminiscent of Bowie's flamboyant outfits and expansive musical styles. From Ziggy Stardust's starry embellishments to the enigmatic allure of the Thin White Duke, each monster reflects the strength of individuality and self-expression that Bowie championed.

Character designs include piercing eyes and exaggerated features that evoke a sense of otherworldliness, capturing the essence of Bowie's ethereal presence. The textures and forms incorporate elements like glitter and metallics, mirroring the glamorous edge of Bowie’s aesthetic while celebrating the monsters who often feel like outsiders.

This tribute serves to honor Bowie's legacy by showcasing the beauty of embracing one's unique identity. Just as Bowie transcended boundaries, these monsters invite everyone to celebrate their own unique quirks and differences, ensuring that no one feels like an outsider. Each piece not only captures the spirit of an artist who inspired countless others but also reminds us that embracing vulnerability is a powerful act.
