New Jersey-born Artist Kaws was invited recently by Interview Magazine to work atop an image of Michael Jackson for an editorial piece on the late pop sensation. The final image is typical of Kaws’ unique style and features a ‘Bendy’ (a worm-like character who often appears in Kaws’ work) wrapped around Jackson which is reminiscent of previous work, most obviously the iconic reworking of Supreme’s Kate Moss tee.

    I REALLY want to like this, but I can’t. I’ve got to say this is not a very good piece of work. I love Kaws’ work and all, but this just sucks. I get the white glove reference, but what significance does the Bendy have with respect to MJ? None as far as I can tell.
