David Bowie is Back!
Rumours have been circulating about David Bowie’s health for some time and the superstar announced via Twitter (on November 1 and 2, 2011) that he is back!
His tweet from November 1 said: “Just when I wanted to call it quits there goes Lou Reed inspiring the hell out of me!”
He followed that up on November 2 with: “Back into the studio we go! (January) Great to be working with Lou again on “More Than Meets The I” . We’re both on cloud 9!”
Best news ever! Welcome back David. We’ve been waiting a long time!
Keep abreast on the latest by following David Bowie on Twitter and According2g on Twitter.

Life On Mars Revisited by David Bowie, Mick Rock, Barney Clay
The Creators Project is an event not to be missed. Last year, I attended the inaugural launch party in New York and it was one of the best events I’ve ever been to. It was at Milk Studios in Chelsea and it featured 12 hours of music and art installations. This year, they switched it up a little bit and held the festivities over 2 days and in Brooklyn, spread out across multiple locations in Dumbo. Gone were the free alcohol and food, but the art was pretty interesting. Most installations were made with cutting edge technology and it was surely a stimuli overload for the good.

The weather was slightly chilly, but it was a gorgeous day to wander around and discover one cool art installation after another. These photos you see don’t represent how cool each installation was, including the top photo of being engulfed by larger than life cinema screens featuring a tripped out remixed video of David Bowie’s “Life On Mars.”

You were encouraged to interact with the art, which is always welcome in my book, as you will see in the next photo. The Creators Project also runs October 16, 2011 by RSVP only. Hopefully you got your confirmation because you will not want to miss this!

The Smoking Series by Michael Houghton. Showing for a limited time at 19 Kenmare Street in NYC.
Combine the worlds of art and music with a smokin’ hot pop-up exhibit in New York by Michael Houghton. Entitled “Smoking Series,” you’ll see many rock and roll gods depicted – having a cigarette. The Beatles, David Bowie, The Clash, Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger are just a few of the works on display at the pop-up gallery. This exhibit of smoking rock and roll legends is anything but a drag.
The Beatles by Michael Houghton
The exhibit is located at 19 Kenmare Street in New York. As my luck would have it, artist Michael Houghton was in the gallery. He advised that the exhibit will probably only be up until the middle of May, 2011, so you don’t have much time to see these cool works of art in person.
You can see a photo of the artist in front of a few more of his works, after the jump.
