It’s impossible to do a legend proper justice. True icons make everything look easy because they have such an abundance of raw talent. I’m not a dancer or a singer, just a graphic designer. I can at the very least interpret the style of those I admire and give it my own spin. All good things must come to an end and it’s never easy to say goodbye. But, it is possible for a legacy to live on forever.

Eli says: Wow, these photos are so beautiful, there really are no words!
That last picture is totaly AWESOME!!!! What a trip, like past VS present. Amazing. 
So amazing! I love the first picture.
This is absolutely beautiful. I am a graphic designer and artist (though I do not claim to be as talented as you), as well as an MJ fan, and I feel compelled to say how much I adore these photos. You are a gorgeous girl with such passion and insight, and your photographer obviously knows how to capture the raw essence of your artistic, loving, and absolutely amazing tribute to the modern world’s greatest icon. This is my favorite Nubby blog entry of all time– and I am an avid fan.
I’m still so sad about it.
Those Acne wedges are AMAZING!
You are the best. Truly. These pictures are just.. perfect. I think I am a little bit in love with you.
This shoot blows my mind – your styling is perfect, you’ve captured everything as perfect as anyone other than MJ could. I love this.
Bisous.
Sea-cat says: Can I just say…. This is totally “Bad”… I love it!
Wow. The last two photos are my favourites- they’re so iconic and you do them beautifully. AMAZING set of photos
Beautiful photos!
ansi says: Oh, you’ve captured the mood with your own special touch! It makes my eyes prickle just a bit.
What a tribute! Fantastic.
Maybe you can’t BE him – but don’t think for a second you’re not doing him proper justice. This is an amazing tribute.
Ahhh you look awesome!
Love these! Especially the last one. How were you able to stand on tiptoe in those wedges?
Wow, I love this shoot!
Thank you so much, everyone!!! Bianca and I were both so tired and shot these at midnight in her living room that was basically taken over by the black backdrop and lights. I’m so happy with the outcome and glad that you like it a well!
Raven: Great question! In reality, I was leaning forward onto a stool and propping myself up. Sad but true! I have no idea how MJ did it in real life!
Hey there! Wow, you are an amazing girl! Great photos with the ‘MJ tribute theme’. Your tribute goes right down to the tiny details of that sequined jacket and your raised shoes!
Happy Sunday!
Nubby those are brilliant!!! It seems, at least in my area, that everyone hates MJ because he is “a creepy child molestor” or they say they like him just because he died. It is so nice to see another true fan who appriciates him.
those pictures are just insanely awesome!!! Love how you added your own twist to it!
Ahh you’re brilliant!!!
OMG, last 2 pictures are my favourite. u are so inpirational!
wow~! inspiring tribute! the pictures are totally awesome, magnificent!! brilliant!
Wonderful. Thanks for the inspiration–I just decided to go as MJ for Halloween and your post really brought the prospect to life for me (though, granted, I’ll be mostly in head-to-toe silver). Thank you.
He’ll live forever!
I really like the pictures, great idea!
Nubby! You rock my socks! Getting goosebumps just looking at these, it’s spot on! What a great tribute!
These photos are amazing! You certainly channeled the late great MJ! He would be proud!
These photos are just stunning, well done – yes you pulled it off smashingly.
Bexi says: These are just amazing. You look gorgeous in all of them. Good work on this tribute! I love it!
I’ve been planning my Michael costume for Halloween, I know it’s tacky but I can’t find another excuse to don the duds.
Good job girl!
FANTASTIC. I can’t hate on this. And way to state you’re just giving it your own spin! Love it.
