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 "Stranger in Moscow", a song about the country Moscow from an outsiders point of view and how tainted the government is.

The music video is all filmed in slow motion, as though we are in a incomprehensible daze whilst walking through the streets of Moscow. The only thing that brings the people together and cleanses them is the rain.

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

Lyrics copyright to Michael Jackson.

Oh wow, you really captured the emotion of this video perfectly. The black and white, Michael's facial expression... Really nice.

I love this song. It was so honest. The fact that Michael wrote it while on tour while feeling sad and alone just makes it so autobiographical. He's a genius, man.

Thank you so much! It was so hard to capture the beauty of this video and do it justice. Im so glad you enjoy what I did with this. I spent about 2 months creating this whole MJ video series and thought about sending them to him but no idea where he lives anymore haha!
