“Moonwalker” is a somewhat obvious homage to Michael Jackson. Max vividly remembers the King of Pop’s last years and death. Max was always a large fan of his songs including Thriller, Dangerous, and Billie Jean. Much of his music, notably Billie Jean was accompanied by his gravity-defying dance moves, most notably the “moonwalk.” Tempted to honor Michael Jackson, Max used his cross-hatched shading style, similar to the style used in his “Social Anxiety” piece. Instead of including a background, Max wanted to make him look as though he was dancing on the bottom of the white blank paper. Max was honored when his instagram post of this drawing got a like from one of Michael Jackson’s own drummers, Jonathan Moffett!
