Artist's Comments

My next collection of drawings are to commorate Michael Jackson's history in music videos. (not in any particular order) There is no doubt that he has brought originality to the medium that no-one else can immitate yet use him as in inspiration.

Here we have "Beat it", a song about gang violence and street wars.

The music video puts MJ in the thick of a gang war, the two gangs are telling everyone they know to meet up later that night and MJ wants to stop it happening. Of course, MJ saves the day with song and dance before things get violent with knives.
Did you know the people asked to feature in this video are two real gangs from off the streets? If you watch the video many of them can't dance at all and just stand around in the background.

Created in pencil crayons and chalks. Text and signature added in Ulead.

Lyrics copyright to Michael Jackson.

Awesome pose dudette, it's such a recognisable stature that MJ has, even when it's almost sillouhetted you know it's him!
The added zips 'n' schtuff look brilliant, gets the whole "thug" look across with the red colours - not to mention his oh so famous red jacket ;) Love it dudette!

Good idea for adding the fact about the ganstas! :highfive:

Everyone HAS to have seen video, its history in the making :giggle:
MJ's poses are the best to draw! So emotive and effective at portraying the feelings (wait, theyre the same thing..never mind LOL!)
