Jackson’s artwork finds a new home at children’s hospital

Michael Jackson’s artwork has now found a new home after the unveiling by his three children during a press conference this week.

A children’s hospital in Los Angeles is getting the pieces which were unveiled by Prince, 14, Paris, 13 and Prince Michael II, 9, during a special ceremony showcasing the ten pieces of art created and signed by Jackson.

The sketches included one of Mickey Mouse, a throne and a drawing of Jackson’s icon Peter Pan, one of his famous moonwalk, a portrait and more.

Other Jackson family members also attended the unveiling. Jackson’s mother Katherine and his sister La Toya said they hoped the art would help the children’s spirits.

“You look at this, it makes you happy. They’re whimsical, they’re magical and there’s just joy and peace.”

“I know that when you see this and the kids see it, it will bring some type of joy to them, and at the same time, I know it will bring joy to my brother as well.”

“I know that Michael wouldn’t want this art in a better place, than a hospital like this that will help children, and people everywhere,” she said.

“I’m so proud that these pieces are here to help those who need it.”

The artwork was donated by Brett Livingstone-Strong, an artist and friend of Jackson.

During the private ceremony, Jackson’s children sat next to their grandmother and at times took turns holding her hand.

They added their own signatures underneath their father’s on some of the pieces.

The art will eventually be placed at locations throughout the hospital.

Here is a video of the event:

Michael Jackson fans continue to boycott the Jackson Secret Vault and any products it sells after information got out to the press regarding the contract it signed with Katherine Jackson to distribute and sell material about Michael Jackson.

Besides believing MJ’s mother had been manipulated in this contract, the contract binds all heirs to the terms. This means that Prince, Paris and Blanket are bound to the terms of this contract.

Take a look at their official statement and a copy of the actual contract in question.
