Michael Jackson’s letterhead
Letters of Note has this nice “get well” note sent in 1986 by Michael Jackson to a friend. Note the letterhead and the “BEAT IT” pun.

Lady Gaga just Tweeted this slideshow she put together of many a monster who dressed in her likeness for Halloween. It’s pretty cool to watch see the diversity of her fans: age, shape, sex, sexuality, race. They’re like a rainbow coalition of freak flag flyers! Another remarkable thing after watching it is just how many [...]

I just recently discovered this soulful, sexytime cover of Danish R&B duo Quadron’s cover of Michael Jackson’s “Baby Be Mine.” Their low budget video’s warm and atmospheric visual fits nicely with the song. This effect was created using a Japanese Digital Harinezumi camera.

Marc Quinn’s new show is opening in London this weekend. I had previously written about Quinn’s life-sized bronze sculpture of everyone’s favorite male transexual porn star with pecs and a vagina, Buck Angel. But Quinn is also taking on Alannah Starr, who has gone in the opposite direction as Buck. Buck’s vagina is on display [...]

I previously featured Patrick Boivin’s entertaining stop-motion toy figure fight between Bruce Lee and Iron Man. Boivin is back with another installment that animates a twirling Michael Jackson in a dance off against Mr. Bean, who’s got his own trick up his sleeve. Boivin perfectly captures the inane imaginative battles I used to conjure up [...]

I wrote an essay a few weeks back about Lady GaGa’s taking over from Madonna and becoming the numero uno gay pop icon. And any gay with a Facebook account can attest to this with a simple look at their status update bar from this week. The gays are going gaga over Bad Romance, the new [...]

Those same talented dancers/inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in the Philippines are at it again. This time, however, the tribute is not for Michael Jackson. Another effeminate and over-the-top singer gets their start treatment. Mr. Freddie Mercury would no doubt be proud that these prisoners, who learn to dance during their rehabilitation [...]

The Google Suggests feature is usually spot on, but sometimes it spits something at you that just doesn’t make much sense. The technology takes other people’s searches, caches them, and then predicts what you’re typing in the search box. The Huffington Post has asked readers to grab an image of the most inappropriate things Google [...]

I posted earlier about Andy Warhol’s junk being combed through, including that naked poster of Jackie O. Those catalogers will spend six year going through everything the artist meticulously collected during his life, ranging from fan mail to taxi receipts. I am excited to see what other oddities they find. And speaking about oddities, a [...]
Read More »Eternal Moonwalk
An interesting tribute to the King of Pop, a publicly funded radio station in Belgium also known at StuBru, has created Eternal Moonwalk, a video slideshow of people, animals and inanimate objects doing Michael Jackson’s signature move. Each video clip is about six seconds long and a counter keeps track of the number of meters [...]
Read More »A fitting tribute
Since Michael Jackson’s death last week the King of Pop’s fans have shown respect in a myriad of ways. This video has to be the most unique, and if you think about it, the most fitting. 1500 inmates in the Philippines paying tribute to the fallen pop star. This isn’t their first Jackson performance. Take [...]

Web Designer Depot is compiling a collection of Michael Jackson tributes created by various artists and designers from around the Web. Your mileage may vary with some of the results, but what is clear is that the King of Pop’s impact reverberated far beyond simply the world of music.

Lady GaGa recently turned head’s in London when she appeared at a charitable mural painting donning the most ridiculous hairstyle this side of Cher. Seriously, GaGa is KooKoo.
Michael Jackson’s evolving hedcuts
Its editorial voice aside, the distinguished Wall Street Journal is noted for its usage of rather distinctive dot-drawn headshots or “hedcuts” as they call them of individuals that an article is profiling. As part of the newspaper’s redesign in 1979 “artist Kevin Sprouls devised a technique for illustrating the paper that did not disrupt its [...]
