I feel very sad, he was and will remain a musical icon. I hope the media will leave his children alone, and my prayers go out to his family and friends who new him best. Such a shock considering his massive European concert was about to start next month, and his performances were going to be tremendous. No matter his personal 'strangeness', he was always dedicated to his music, and I will always have fondness for his great albums. I have no interest in reading or hearing poor taste jokes about his death today.

No matter how one feels about his personal life, you can't help but admit, no matter how miniscule, that his music touched your life somehow, if even for a brief moment (good, bad or indifferent). His music crossed so many genres and was so prolific, I don't see how it couldnt! R.I.P Michael! Jim

Little confusing but here's some Cover info: translate.google.com/translate?prev=hp&hl=en&js=n&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lacortedelreydelpop.com%2Fartedetapa4.htm&sl=es&tl=en&history_state0=mAccount Mark Ryden, illustrator of the cover of "Dangerous" that had previously worked with the Art Director for Sony, Nancy Donald in many other projects and when it commissioned the project she thought Michael Jackson in it. Ryden met with the King of Pop in his study where he could hear some of his new music and talked about the idea. Only one was elected, the outline of the current slide. "Dangerous". The other four sketches that were not accepted by Michael Jackson, but had the same style in general that the cover of "Dangerous." One was a circus poster with a skeleton jumping from the innards of a clown and another was focused on a girl in his hand holding a skull, another idea was very similar to the final cover, but the scene was set and the outdoors Michael Jackson's eyes were mixed with the clouds on Bubbles the chimp who was standing on a pile of animals. Mark Ryden addition that the first sketches for the cover of "Dangerous" is great inspiration in the video for the song "Leave Me Alone" in the feature film "Moonwalker", assuring that "it was the image, design and objects were brilliant. " The cover of "Dangerous" was the biggest Mark Ryden asked to date it sued six months of hard work. Although the original painting is very large, the great challenge for the designer was that by reducing the size of a cover of a compact disc detail the concept and not disappear. One of his points of inspiration for many details of the subjects was to listen to that album Michael Jackson was finishing his record and song titles also serve to introduce some concepts. That was the title of the album and the song "Dangerous" provided a starting point for the basis of the drawing. Mark Ryden says that despite the great advances in digital technology, the picture is not supported by computers and nothing is done to the old style, only brush with acrylic paint on a panel, which still remains in its original study, but he was asked by Michael Jackson or the art of division of Sony Music, the latter just bought the reproduction rights. Ensures the artist as anyone else could buy the original drawing. As for the freedom to create his work, Ryden had the great opportunity to draw without pressure, except for some very special additions to the Michael Jackson asked near the end of the work. For example, wanted the actor Macaulay Culkin was in a car leaving the tunnel attraction on the right and which is placed the pin "1998" on the lapel of the jacket P. Barnum. Barnum.

Thanks for posting this information. I was not aware of Ryden being the artist nor the story behind it. Made for an interesting read...

If I am not mistaken, there is another small Ryden painting with Michael Jackson in it as well. Maybe it had something to do with the cover of a Rolling Stone or something? I will see if I can come up with the image.

I will see if I can come up with the image. I've seen the Ryden you are referring to. It was published in Rolling Stone but not exactly sure what for. It's weird, even for Ryden. I remember MJ having a tail and there was a heart in flames floating in the background with Lisa Marie Presley's face in it. Possibly a crown on MJ's head too but I haven't seen it in a while.
