Description
First posted in June 2005, I did it as an impression of the circus that was Michael Jackson's trial. I had tried to exaggerate the features for a caricature, but it always came out looking just like him. He basically was a caricature. Back then my intentions where to make fun of the event. Now it's more to just give him credit for his contribution as a musician/dancer.
Hopefully the freak circus will eventually die down and people and media will actually remember him more for the music side.
original title: "The Absolution of Saint Michael" (could be eerily prophetic)

like the cartoon a lot.
excellent work, and I agree, it should be about the musical legacy he left behind, his family and personal problems should be left out of it.
Totally agree...Leave the media out of the guys life for once, let him rest in peace and for goodness sake butt out of the Jackson clan's affairs so his children can move on, sheesh. Michael had some awesome music, dance moves and was an amazing person over all...to bad the world just wants to see the bad that was supposed to be 'in' him and every other person they are looking to dig dirt up on...I do not, and never will envy the famous. Great post.
Very eerie previous title indeed. Wonderful work you've created.
Amen to the music side... a wonderful talent lost.
Fully agree with all above.. Loved his music and dancing. I'd love to go back and have a 2nd childhood again, especially if the first one wasn't normal, and really especially.. with loads of money..lol. I don't blame him for trying. Bravo and best wishes from Dave :^)
I suppose he is a great artistic loss to the world; but I have always seen a very troubled and confused person and maybe he is better off now.
I whas thinking about this image, you made ones, hoping you post it, and you did.....Awesome work....;)
