From the Maker of ‘Prince as Birds,’ Here’s ‘David Bowie as Spiders,’ the Latest and Greatest Twitter Photo Series

Last week, the Twitter profile belonging to a U.K.-based comedy writer sprang forth with an idea: What if Prince, but birds? It was precisely the sort of social media irreverence suited for everybody — and it was great. She’s since followed it up with another toast to a flamboyantly-styled music icon, this time David Bowie (as spiders!).
But first, a quick recap of the Prince-as-birds series.
It looked like this:

Online buzz began swirling around this Prince series, building enough to inspire Prince-as-caterpillars:

And also butterflies!

But anyway, back to the David Bowie series. @Pandamoanimum gets extra credit for the relevance of “spider” to the Bowie universe, of course, since the late singer/cultural icon utilized a backing band called the Spiders from Mars for a while.
And, as you can see in the photos below, the man also dressed in outfits that pair up quite nicely with photos of real-life spiders.

Once again, thank you, @pandamoanimum. The scope of variety and depth of colors on display from both Bowie and the spiders makes for entertaining comparisons, for sure.
A note from the creator, by the way:
Thanks to the mess of 2020, I’m currently out of work. If you’ve ever liked any of my stupid jokes or threads or any of my other general brain nonsense then you could maybe buy me a ‘coffee’ (no obligation of course!)
Thanks! ❤️https://t.co/xpnRDVawMb— Amanda (@Pandamoanimum) January 25, 2021
