In 2018, a bronze sculpture of David Bowie was unveiled in Aylesbury’s Market Square. The piece of art, entitled Earthly Messenger, features David Bowie in 2002 as well as a range of his alter egos including Ziggy Stardust.
It was put in place in Aylesbury to celebrate not only this iconic artist, but also his close ties to our town. He first performed as Ziggy Stardust and debuted two albums at gigs at the iconic Friars Club in the 1970s.

The Brief
Following our work on the Friars Club exhibition in 2014, David Stopps from The Friars Club got in touch with us in regards to the unveiling of the David Bowie statue in Aylesbury. He required a series of graphics for the unveiling, and two permanent plaques – one as a dedication to David Bowie and the other attributed to the statues sculpturer.
What we did to help
We carried out an initial site visit with our client and discussed the brief further. We took the necessary measurements and gave advice on the type of product and material that would work best for this outdoor project.
We created two plaques made from thick acrylic, printed on the reverse side to protect the print fitted to the wall with aluminium barrel fixings They are installed by Impact, to meet a very tight deadline
We are very happy with the outcome of these plaques and believe they finish of the artistic piece just perfectly.
We’re also ecstatic to know that they have been seen around the world through the copious amounts of press the statue has received! We’re extremely proud to be mentioned on the plaque for our support in this project and our MD Andy Borrow even gets a personal mention!
Blimey Daniela, you’re a star! Thanks so much for all the help you have given us on this project. I really appreciate you helping us out with these plaques. The price is extremely helpful. Love peace and music.
