We are all talking about Bowie. This morning, the day after the news of his death, book designer Jessica Horrocks at Text sent me her homage-parody.
With fine instincts she picked on the film tie-in edition of Lionel Shriver’s celebrated bestseller We Need to Talk About Kevin.
Tilda Swinton, who features in the film and on the cover, was a friend of Bowie’s and herself a great shapeshifter.
Bowie was a lightning bolt and in his wake we shed rainstorms.

Great quote from Tilda Swinton on Bowie, that he "looked like someone from the same planet that I did".

'It feels like we lost something elemental, as if an entire color is gone'- Carrie Brownstein on losing Bowie.
For a musician he was one hell of a visual artist.

Thanks, Chong: selfishly, I'm upset I never saw him live. Selflessly: I'm glad the rest of the world did.
Diamond tears for a cosmic loss.
