MICHAEL JACKSON King Of Pop

This portrait is dedicated to all fans of the King of Pop.

The work that we publish is very important to me. Almost from childhood Michael Jackson was my great inspiration. From an early age I drew portraits of the King of Pop, but not always me coming out. :-) I think this is one of the largest and most outstanding artists in the world, which reached the top. Many contemporary artists try to emulate Michael, which unfortunately often ends in disaster. :-)
