Hey @kittykate,
Great drawing🙌
I identified the face immediately.
I read your words, and your questions evoked emotions and sparked my interest.
People do glorify celebrities and sometimes forget to ask important questions like what you have asked.

I was lucky to have met and interacted with him, as David Jones (not as David Bowie, BUT unfortunately, I didn't get to "🎵put on my red shoes and dance the blues" 🎶). He was a fairly quiet man. Very pleasant, and always smiling. He loved his wife and was happy to communicate with normal people like me. He was a regular guest at the resort I worked at, up to his last few years. Both him and his wife are amazingly caring, humble, and grounded individuals.

I got the feeling that he was at peace with himself... So, yes, maybe he had dark secrets, as many people do...but he enjoyed being a regular person away from the spotlight.

Thanks for your beautiful drawing 😍
