Michael Jackson's Dangerous cover album and its occult symbolism

Someone should print this on a shirt, I would definitely sport this (but then again its probably on eBay already or it has been for a long time)

Regarded as one of the most intricate album covers along with The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is Michael Jackson's Dangerous album cover designed by Mark Ryden.

A fitting tribute to the King of Pop who just now became the first artist ever to sell 1,000,000 downloads within a week.
You're never really a legend if you don't die prematurely just like John Lennon, Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix for example.
On the bright side, the man's legacy won't be tarnished any further.



mmmmm trippy

"The cover of his Dangerous album had some interesting features on it. The Freemasonic symbol of the One Eye can be found and also the picture of a watery lake behind which laid burning flames. It seems as though anyone entering into the water would really be entering into the fire.

The cover also has on it a picture of a bald headed man well known to the occult as Alistair Crowley. He himself was a Freemason and wrote the book "The New Law of Man" which stated in it that it would one day replace the Qur'ân as the law of man."

Another good image I found of Michael Jackson rendered in the pop art style, just thought I'd share it, this is an art blog after all:

  1. The guy on the Dangerous album cover is not Crowley, this is P.T. Barnum, the circus owner.
