    Does it make sense that the price on this has actually gone UP since this was first featured?

      That happens frequently on items featured on Regretsy…usually by sellers who bitch and moan that April is getting all criminally by posting things here. They never acknowledge that we send them more traffic than they’ve had.

      Then again, we’ve had cupcakes who claim they don’t want sales that are a result of being featured here. Guess that’s because the money that comes through PayPal from an FJL is cursed and should be avoided.

      Yes, because raising the price worked sooooo well as a marketing initiative that it’s still in the *ahem* artist’s (?) store a year later!

      the price went up because he is even more dead now. the more time that passes, the more something is worth according to the “experts”

    I think that Regretsy math indicates it’s a fairly accurate portrait.

      It really captures the “fucked-up” part of Michael Jackson perfectly.

      actually the first picture is the Invisible man and in this painting MJ is less King of Pop and more King of Poop

      I’m surprised the canvas didn’t reject the paint once it realized what was happening to it.

    That nose is shaped too much like a real nose to belong to MJ.

    All this art work is ‘deep’.

    In fact, it’s a perfect expression of Man’s Inhumanity To Man as an artistic expression! A Sadartist if you will.

            Amy’s sicker, David’s more palatable to general audiences. I like ‘em both, but Amy’s more my style.

    Food for thought; This is probably an accurate depiction of what MJ might look like now… You know… With the decomposition of whatever natural tissue was left of his face.
