This 'Wizard Insane' illustration by Neatorama's graphic designer Nana Leonti beautifully combines the iconic fictional wizard Harry Potter with the super popular singer David Bowie. The graphic merges the two pop culture figures together in a breathtaking hand-drawn portrait.
This rather unique pop culture portrait creatively redesigns the look of the Boy Who Lived by giving Harry Potter a Bowie-worthy makeover. During Bowie's early career the celebrated 80s superstar was known for his outlandish persona Ziggy Stardust and his theatrical makeup looks. In many of his music videos Bowie was seen sporting a technicolor lightning bolt across his face. It makes sense then that Leonti would re-imagine Potter with Bowie's stage makeup since Potter is known for his infamous lightning bolt forehead scar. This fan tribute image is visually striking to look at.
