I was never a true fan of Michael Jackson. I always enjoyed to listen to some songs my younger sisters loved and of course admired his unique talent in song writting and dancing. But what I am sure of is that Michael used to be a part of my teenage life. For all of us who grow up in the 80s his death meant that we suddenly grew older. This portrait is a modest tribute to the man, the artist and the era. An era of colors, innocence and hopes. Happy 51st birthday, Michael. Made with Adobe Photoshop and Synthetik Studio Artist.
