Artist's Comments

So you wake up in the morning by your radio alarm clock playing "Thriller" by none other than good ole MJ on your favourite radio channel. Through flicking through other channels, you realise that all stations are playing MJ songs in one form or another. You realise something has happened.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, dies at the age of 50 at 2:26pm on the 25th of June 2009.

Like they say: A candle that burns twice as bright, lasts half as long. Michael Jackson's light inspired millions of fans around the globe. He was one of the brightests stars, now an immortal legend. His talent in music and dancing, the memory of the iconic silver glove and fedora, the charisma shall be forvever embedded in the hearts of the millions of fans. This is how heroes never die.

R.I.P. MJ :rose:

Pfft picture took less than 2 hours on Adobe Photoshop CS2 and a quite wobbly Medion tablet.

EDIT: 29/06 WOW! 70 FAVES! Thank you to all who contributed to this great statistic. It really shows how much we are touched by Michael's death, how much we respect him. (70 faves is a huge number for me, usually getting no more than 10) So... yeah. I'm so glad he had inspired so many of us.
RIP MJ

Beautiful picture darling, great blending of the colours, and you chose one of the greatest iconic poses :heart:

Unfortunateley I watched the whole thing unfold on TV from very early in the morning, from the first breaking news, the moment they officially announced he had died, I burst in to tears. He will never, ever be forgotten. RIP Michael <3

Thank you for the comment and the fave River, dear! :heart:

Oh shit I'm so sorry :( I could not watch it unfold on TV because I was late for school in the morning. I had to constantly refresh the news websites on the school's internet account for the confirmation. It was so sudden that I still couldn't believe it happened. RIP Michael :heart:

This is amazing, it really suited your drawing style. A great tribute, the colours are as usual good and I love his pose :heart:
you wrote a beautiful text there also, I loved the lines "A candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long", I've never heard them before.
