Having waited a respectful period so as to not take advantage of a national tragedy, here is my pop art rendering of Michael Jackson, sending us a message from Heaven.

Michael hasn’t looked this way in a long time. I choose to remember him in his prime. Isn’t that the way most of us would prefer to be remembered?

Michael was a performer almost from infancy, and as such, he never had a chance at a normal life. He existed only to entertain us. And that is the best and the worst of the story…

A working class artist has to do many things to make a living. If you are only doing one thing, you will have a somewhat better chance of being famous, but it is also much more likely that art will be a hobby, not a living.

Ever since I discovered Joe Bluhm’s extreme caricature work, I’ve wanted to expand my own style. I figured I might as well start with myself.

This caricature was done in pen and colored pencil, one pass – no preliminaries. It is an intentionally extreme, exaggerated self-portrait caricature.
