ARTWORK

What’s your worst nightmare? Freddie Kruger, Jason from Friday the 13th, or Hannibal Lecter? Sure, they might give you the heebie-jeebies, but none of them hold a candle to the true terror that lurks among us: the Michael Jackson stan.

At first glance, they look like your average human beings, seamlessly blending into the backdrop of society—perhaps sipping a morning coffee or scrolling through cat memes. But beneath that mundane exterior lies a mind that’s been wired a little... wonky. No, they don't crave brains like a stereotypical zombie; instead, they’re ravenous for the glorification of the iconic weirdo himself, Michael Jackson.

You might think they have beating hearts, just like regular folks, and yes, their pulses may be steady, but do they possess a soul? Absolutely not. The only thing fueling their spirits is a relentless need to defend their idol and to demonize anyone who dares to speak against their beloved King of Poop.

As we build up anticipation for the uproarious documentary, Trial by Media: A Michael Jackson Stan Story, prepare yourself for a selection of artwork that peels away the façade of these stans. Think of it as an artistic dive into the depths of the abyss where you’ll uncover the true nature of these aficionados: monstrous caricatures, lurking in the shadows, just waiting to get their fix of glorification. You might even want to keep a light on—because who knows what kind of apocalyptic fandom you might stumble upon!
