Dieline – King of Pop:
“Los Angeles based artist – “I am excited to share this idea with the folks at Pepsi as either an art piece to compliment their vast collection within the Pepsico headquarters or as a limited edition run of cans leading up to Michael Jackson’s funeral.

Toxic people, ideas, religions, substances enter our lives via ambivalence. We get confused when moments of regret mingle with pleasure and inspiration. Sometimes you deal with a person (or an idea) and there is this nagging uncomfortable feeling that is always present in the relationship.
