Ziggy Stardust plunges into the deep-end in a new, Olympic-sized mural from street artist Ten Hundred, a.k.a., Peter Robinson. Recently, the artist posted a video of the mural's development process, carefully documenting every step. From establishing the piece's outline by applying a huge paper sketch, to marking off the portrait in white and taking a break for an arcade game, to finally fleshing out the extraterrestrial details in color-retentive swimming pool paint, it's an exhaustive work cycle to witness in less than three minutes.

Ten Hundred himself describes his inspirations as ranging from street art and graffiti to anime and child-like imagination. Sounds like the perfect ingredients for any Bowie fan.Watch as David Bowie: The true Space Oddity comes to full realization in a few stills and the full video below.
