Michael Jackson & Jesus

So this exists…

Apparently it was part of a collection of pieces by an artist named David LaChapelle that he exhibited in galleries around the world after Michael Jackson’s death.

The name of the collection?

American Jesus.

Seriously. I’m not making that up.

For good measure, LaChapelle also created a piece in which Jackson as the archangel Michael (get it? so clever) triumphs over Satan.

I can only assume that a velvet painting of Elvis feeding the 5,000 and a watercolor of Madonna hanging on the cross hung next to these masterpieces.

    LaChapelle is a really famous pop photographer, his work is really stylized like these. This is pretty great, though.

      What’s even more amazing, for me, than the painting itself is the fact that it’s valued at $48,000!!

      I’m definitely in the wrong line of work.
