sad :(

:< *hugs*

we all miss him --

i miss him as well... in my opinion the 80s died with him =/

And for the most part, he died with the 80's. :/

the 80s will never die. It just gets periodically zombified from time to time. :P

The 80's never dies.. there just hasn't been a party worth crashing in 25 years

I think somehow he might be better off now. The last years of his life were torment.

If you believe in life after death, sure.

I didn't mean it that way. I just meant that he's not being tormented anymore.

I appologize; I know some people consider death - even with nothing after - to be a "release" from a life of torment, like now it's better. It's just over, not better or worse. Just over. Again, that's just my own belief, which I hope I find out is false whenever I die... but until then, I'll never know.

You don't have to apologize, I'm not touchy with my beliefs.

My brother asked me today what he should do with my dragon collection if I were to die. I told him, "I won't care, since I'm dead in this hypothesis." ;)

i knew you was ganna make a drawing of this its very nice may he R.I.P

Aww... very touching.

And another great celebrity is gone....
MJ's awesomeness will never die, and I bet he's dancing with the angels in heaven now.

Mraww.. *hugs*

Billy mays is up next :< heh... but yeah, we'll all miss his great music

we all have to go one day, R.I.P MJ

lovely well all have a place for him in our hearts

I'm sure he's happy in whatever happens after death...
Rest in Peace...

He was a wonderful singer, and its not like he left us nothing to remember him by, he and his music will be remembered for centuries to come.

I believe in reincarnation. So... someday we will see him again.

I'm not a religious person, but I'd believe reincarnation before I'd believe in heaven. So if he does get reincarnated, lets hope he has a more peaceful life the second time around, OUT of the limelight.

Death of famous people is a real blow for all of us. But everyone hopes in better next life after death or peacefull heaven. Our faith is a guiding star for him.

r.i.p micheal you will be missed

RIP MJ.

"Do you remember the time, when we fell in love? do you remember the time?"

We all fell in love with his music, his moves, his talent, and the man behind the stage from a child to the end of his life. Live on in our hearts and in our minds, Michael. Live on!

Right on, Liz.

Tell me, though-- have you heard he has stored 100 new songs that never saw the light of day, hidden for the sole purpose of being released in his passing, to support his kids?

I've heard it's somewhere between 100-200, but yeah. Lets just hope the inevitable legal battle that's gonna happen to deal with his huge debts don't result in those songs getting taken away and released for someone else's profit.

If that happens, I am pirating the SHIT out of whatever's released, and sending a check addressed to his kids for the full retail amount.

TRUE THAT.

What?! Really? He must've been talking to Prince.

Billy Mays, now, too...

I know, I saw that. :(

I almost want to declare tomorrow TYPE IN ALL CAPS DAY in his honor, but I think that would be kind of tactless...

Actually, when I clicked this I thought she was going to be holding a can of Oxi-Clean

/b/ already did so, from what I picked up (I just went to it to see if they would have a few Billy Mays threads. I was wrong -- there were dozens.

One of them declared today all-caps-day.

well in that case, I guess it confirms my "tactless" assertion.

OH SNAP NO I DIDN'T! :waits for the /b/tards to come after me with pitchforks and burning dildos:

Haha, like those assholes would actually stain themselves with visiting FURAFFINITY! (gasp)

nvm that half of them are closet furries.

Also, I agree with Toren -- Mays was a great guy, loved humor, even when it was himself as the punchline (see the FA LotD, for example), and he would probably chuckle if he knew a new holiday were being celebrated to emulate his trademark delivery.

It's amazing how far some people will go to wallow in material they claim to hate. ;)

Didn't he once do something on a TV show where he said he was gonna kill Vince or something?

...

He did something on a RADIO show where he challenged Vince (tongue-in-cheekly) to a 'pitch-off' because the hosts or a caller or something were giving Billy shit for Vince showing up on the "Really Loud/Attention-Drawing Pitchmen" scene.

Yeah, I knew it was something where he called out Vince. I probably got an exaggerated version of the story. :p

I don't think it would be tactless, form what I heard Billy loved to make people laugh and smile, and I think that would a good way to remember him being the loud funny guy trying to sell you anything from Oi Clean to his own grandma,. As for MJs passing, it was a sad day, I listened to my favorite MJ song three times in a row in his honor.

this has just been a really bad week for famous people.

may he rest in peace. 'You been hit by.... You been hit by.... a Smooth Criminal!'

The world never forgive M. J. forever :)

It can be hoped that you meant FORGET...

Damn yes, sorry, my fault

my miracle blade knife series just went up in value

First MJ, and just today Billy Mays. What the fuck, death?

Along with Farrah Fawcett the same day as MJ, Ed McMahon this past Tuesday, and David Carradine a couple weeks ago. There's been a lot recently.

hes not trully dead we still have that kick ass music so pleas dont be said

"Never can say goodbye, even though the pains and heartaches seem to follow me wherever I go..." Rest in Peace Michael Jackson, your music lives on.

He may be dead but his music will live on forever

RIP Michael

I don't think for a moment that MJ would want to see anyone sitting there crying because of him. stand up, put on Billie Jean, and Dance. that, I think, would be more appropriate... and at howloween, Thriller.

I'm gonna miss him....

Excellent tribute art, Liz. He'll be missed.

Aww! That's so touching. ‹:)

You should color this one, liz. I think it would look very nice :)

This is the first picture about Micheal's death that doesn't brutality offend me.

Thank you.

His legacy shall live on! I declare every night to be Thriller Night.

That is beautiful! Wonderful pic.

Very touching. I didn't think his death would affect me as much as it has...although admittedly, I didn't ever really think about him dying.

Nice. he's gone too soon.

As I grow older I watch my past slowly slip away, One moment fading to another disappearing from sight but not from memory and this is one I shall never relinquish.
He will be missed for all his music and the magic he made.

RIP Michael

PS Beautiful image, very moving as a fan of both your art and MJ. Thank you

Sadly, MJ will not be remembered for his music. :(

......... Well, at least not for a couple of years.

But don't worry. He'll return as a zombie to terrorize the night in that way that only the King of Pop can. :D

*plays Thriller music and dances, undead style*

Apologies in advance if this offends. >_<;;

Liz, this is a very nicely done pic--even without color. The pose, the expression, the focus on the hat all contribute to the message you're trying to convey.

I too was a fan of M.J., all through the 80's. He was the first real pop singer I ever followed as a kid. When things got weird for him later on, I lost interest, but I still feel the tragedy of losing such a talented performer.

He died and his legend is born.....

On tonight's "Nights With Alice Cooper" radio show, Alice played MJ's cover of the Beatles' "Come Together". I had never known him to do any covers, but I think the Beatles are a good match for him, with all the songs focusing on peace.

I was never really a MJ fan, but I can feel the lose of his passing from so many of his adoring public.

You did a great job on presenting your take with his passing and on his unique style of outfit.
