This is my tribute to Michael Jackson AND the talented Artists / Photographers here in the redbubble community.

I have made a video using the music from 2 Michael Jackson songs (Heal The World & I Just Can’t Stop Loving You) and have used images by the following redbubble members.

I enjoy making these videos and have made almost 100 since last July. It gives me great pleasure to showcase the amazing photographs and art by you good redbubble people.

CLICK THIS LINK = Remember, ther are 2 songs and it lasts over 10 minutes so don’t stop watching after the 1st song :-)

RIP Michael Jackson, your music lives on forever

    silverstrummer...

    Hi David – You are a great artist yourself in what you do to project your friends on RedBubble your Video’s have always been good …......... you spend so much time in producing your video’s and collecting artist’s work. I Salute you on behalf of a lot of people who you have touched with your work!

    I must say this though … you have added work by silverstrummer ….. I cannot take the credit for this but it was a collaboration between myself and AnnMei AnnMei did the artwork that you have shown and I did the story behind the artwork.
    So it leaves me to say On behalf of AnnMei and myself Thank You so much David! – David

  • David Parkin replied

    Hello David,

    Thank you very much for your comment, it is very much appreciated my friend.

    If you go up and look at my original post you will see that I have included AnnMei in the list of credits :-)

    Sorry for not watching your vid David but Michael Jackson just didn’t do it for me, no offence to any of his fans but each to thier own ( and anyway, some of the music I like is just bloody awful as far as some folk are concerned)
    ................................
    You’re more than welcome to leave my image in if you like.
    Bye the way, which one did you use ?
    ................................
    My reply = It took me over 2 days to do this, collecting all those images and laying them out in the order they are in the video . . . and Michael Jackson doesn’t “float your boat” so you don’t wanna watch it . . . and then you come back and have the nerve to ask what image of yours did I use!

    Well, I’m not telling you, and it makes no difference anyway because it has been edited out and replaced by something else. Your name has been removed from my original post in the credits. It’s just like you were never there. Happy now?

    See ya dude :-)
