Rock star David Bowie will officially become a pensioner today as he celebrates his 65th birthday. One of the UK's leading mosaic artists has created an artwork to mark the event. The Space Oddity star has been immortalised in a mosaic, made from hundreds of hand-cut pieces of stone tile, by Manchester artist Ed Chapman. The artwork, called Pin Up, which is valued at £4,000 and measures 92cm x 62cm, took the 40-year-old several weeks to create at his Castlefield studio. Mr Chapman has previously created tile mosaics of famous faces from the worlds of politics, music and sport, including an artwork made out of coins depicting Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.
