As everyone knows by now, we have lost one of the greatest performers and pop culture icons of all time. I had planned on making a Michael Jackson piece a while back, but never got around to it. I know it's messed up that I had to be motivated under these circumstances, but it is what it is. I idolized this man growing up as I'm sure many others around the world did. I practiced all his moves, sang all his songs...I wanted to BE him. This is a tribute, a sad farewell, as well as a celebration of a man who blessed us with music, dance moves and style...here's to the man who knew how to moonwalk long before Neil Armstrong...R.I.P

I had planned on making this piece for a minute and I finally got the chance last week. This piece is an 8"X 8". I loved the movie and I thought this would be a good addition to the more current pop culture pieces that I've made. I usually try to stay away from movie posters and DVD covers when I use images for my work but this image seemed to good to pass up. I got a crazy new project in the works. It's coming soon and it's gonna be a banger. I'm just getting started, don't sleep...Peace!
There are lots of very good pics of John Lennon but I love this one just cuz he's wearing a New York City t-shirt. So with this piece being a huge pop culture reference, it's also a shout-out to acity where I used to live, which I miss almost daily and can never get outta my system.
