The Thin White Duke was the David Bowie's persona and character during 1975 and 1976. He is primarily identified with Bowie's 1976 album Station to Station and is mentioned by name in the title track, although Bowie had first begun to adopt the "Duke" persona during the preceding Young Americans tour and promotion in 1975. The persona's look and character are somewhat based on Thomas Jerome Newton, the eponymous humanoid alien played by Bowie in the 1976 film The Man Who Fell to Earth.
This original illustration is a part of the series of illustrations that were created to celebrate different personas, eras and styles of David Bowie.
They were used in various articles published on CNN International website on his death in January 2016.
