The Buddha of Suburbia by

Illustration based on the novel The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi.

Mix of hand done drawing and digital work.

Meant to illustrate a meeting between east and west and the essence of 70s life and music.

Very much inspired by the music of David Bowie (especially the album Hunky Dory) and Jimi Hendrix, as well as psychedelic poster art, and even Art Noveau.
