  • I think Alison Jackson is SPOT ON with her art. She has tapped into the deliberate way imagery manipulates our thinking and feeds into our celebrity creation process. WONDERFUL WORK! 5 stars!

  • She's eccentric enough to make sense, but normal enough to explain it...

  • I appreciate the message, but I think that this project sort of depersonalizes these celebrities even more, which I find somewhat disrespectful.

  • I love how her work is based on ostensibility; phenomenal work!

  • daaaaang.

    way to put Elton John's business out there.

    :P

  • I could do something about this.

  • 13:05 I resent that and curse this bitch to hell for what she's done. Mike never did touch any kids nor will he ever I should.......

  • @VimisiDigitalMedia I think she's a slutty bitch.

  • I should sue this bitch that slut bitch.

  • This bitch made fun of MJ and he didn't touch any children but he is alive and could sue this bitch for what she's done. I am sick of this shit.
