|  A portrait of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, by King of Pop Art, Andy Warhol The portrait went on show in London on Thursday for three days in the lead-up to an auction in New York of the 1984 painting. The portrait is on display at London's O2 Arena, the venue where Jackson was meant to hold his string of comeback concerts. He died on June 25 before the shows could happen. The portrait was commissioned to celebrate the world record breaking sales of Jackson's "Thriller" album and was painted when both men were at the height of their careers. It will go under the hammer in New York on Aug. 18 at the Vered Gallery, starting with an opening bid of $800,000.
The top price for a Warhol portrait was $28 million for "Lemon Marilyn" of Marilyn Monroe. Sold at Christie's in New York in 2007.
 I wonder how expensive the MJ portrait can get... mmMMMMMM We shall see...on Aug 18th

| Hello xanga'ers!
I know that a FEW of you are still coming to see my blog once in a very long while. So here I am updating my blog. I will be having my graduating ceremony this coming October at SFU. :D What's next? BCIT Interior Design. I am very excited for it, yet very scared because the program seems to be very competitive and have huge amount of work to do.
Wish me luck please. :D
