This week’s creative challenge theme at the Three Muses blog is MUSIC. So, of course, my music muse is always Michael Jackson–the King of Pop and the King of Music!
An epic moment from the Black or White short film…with a little digital magic thrown in.
I wanted to share two pieces of digital art I created in tribute to Michael Jackson’s short film and song, In the Closet. It’s one of my favorites of his songs, and these are two of my favorite creations of Michael Jackson Art to date.
I really love MJ’s look in this short film. I also really love the texture and color I was able to add to my digital art creations. I think the top one is my favorite. I think Michael is my favorite muse for creating digital art…with anything fairy related coming in a close second (or maybe a tie for first).
Time for another challenge over at the Collage Obsession blog. The theme this week is “Man.” We need to have “man” as our theme, or use the word, “man.” So I decided to create some Michael Jackson Art that went with that theme. And I came up with my Man In the Mirror digital art.
This photo is the work of one of my favorite photographers, Annie Leibovitz. She takes amazing photographs and I continue to be awed by her talent. She photographed Michael more than once, and the images (including this one, I believe) appeared in Vanity Fair magazine. And since Michael recorded the song, Man In the Mirror, I thought this photograph was the perfect subject for my digital collage. It is as much an homage to Annie as it is to Michael. It also includes sheet music from the actual song as prat of the design. I hope you like it.
A willow deeply scarred
Somebody’s broken heart
And a washed out dream
(Washed out dream)
They follow the pattern of the wind ya’ see
‘Cause they got no place to be
That’s why I’m starting with me.
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change…
I’m revisiting this Oil Painting of Michael Jackson because it’s another piece of my art that I’ve put in my Fine Art America gallery. 
This was my first ever oil painting of MJ. I’ve painted him more than once, but this is still my favorite painting of him. I have one more I’d like to do in oils of Michael, but I most enjoy creating digital art to celebrate him. You can buy Michael Jackson Prints from this at the Fine Art America site. And there are lots of other wonderful artworks by other artists on that site available for purchase. I was blown away by some of the MJ art I looked at there. It’s wonderful. So if you’re an MJ fan be sure to check out what’s available. Or maybe it will inspire you to do your own MJ-themed art.
This piece of Michael Jackson Art was inspired by this week’s Entertainers Challenge at the Collage Obsession blog. You know how it is with me and Michael Jackson.
Ever the ultimate entertainer, and one of my favorite inspirations. Michael Jackson forever!
Time for another challenge at the Three Muses blog, and this time the theme is a quote. So I decided to add to my collection of Michael Jackson Art for this challenge and create some digital art based on one of his quotes.
Your music will never die, Michael.
I’m listening.
