Johnny Depp

“The Many Characters in Debb’th”

Illustration by Donna Massa   2013 

This illustration was created in Honor and in Tribute to Mr. Johnny Depp, the most innovative and inspirational Actor, and multi talented Artist of our times.  This priceless piece of framed artwork was sent to Mr. Depp in October of 2013. 

Normally I don’t make a habit of going after celebrities and creating illustrations for them.  In April of 2012, I was projecting towards the future, and what project I was going to do after being engaged for so long with the MJ Series and book.  This voice if you want to call it that, came through loud and clear with a name “Johnny Depp!”  I was shocked, stunned and quite leery.  I said to myself, “I don’t even know this very private man there is no possible way.”  However, what came through was rather disturbing, “he is in trouble, and in danger.”  I don’t read tabloids or go online snooping around about celebrities, I value their privacy, but this was different.  For me, this was like a calling that I was asked to do, and for whatever reasons I was to consider it.

The way an illustrator begins to tell a visual story is through research, creativity and imagination, what I mean be this, is how my story will impact the actor in a way that only he can truly appreciate and understand.  For whatever reasons pertaining to trouble or danger, I chose to reach out to him by telling his story to inspire him, and to try and convey a symbolic message.  I felt by visually studying his story it would initiate his sense of worth, and purpose, and that is to be of “Service to Humanity.”

This is a magical tail of nine characters that have a direct connection to each other and are brought together for a reason.  I also needed to put these characters in a particular place where all of them could meet and relate to each other.  The perfect setting was 152-3 Fleet Street in London, England.  The legendary shoppe had two chairs one for a barber and the other for hair cutting.  Sitting in the barber’s chair is a prominent well dressed gentleman in a fitted, long, red, velvet coachman jacket, a paisley ascot around his neck, lovely leather brown boots and an unmistakable Top Hat!  His name is Mr. Willy Wonka, he owns a well established popular Chocolate Factory in town.  Sitting in the hair cutting chair is a very interesting, yet eccentric fellow wearing bizarre clothing, his name is Mr. Mad Hatter, who resides on Alice in Wonderland lane.  He is having his wild red hair trimmed by an innovative, and highly experienced hair cutter, Master Edward Scissorhands.  This young man is noted for his excellence in precision and can cut almost anything you place in front of him.  In case your not aware, it is tea time according to the distinguished clock on the wall, Mr. Hatter lifts his tea cup and enjoys the wonderful aroma and taste of this fresh brewed tea.  On the far left is a rather notorious barber who’s reputation is a bit sketchy, his name is Mr. Sweeney Todd.  If you know the story of Mr. Todd there has been rumors of his customers mysteriously vanishing or simply disappearing out of sight.  Beside Mr. Todd is a very interesting and quite curious Pirate who happens to have walked into his shoppe.  He is impressed by Mr. Todd and interrupts his work, charming him persuading and coaxing him to study his magical campus that he treasures.  Mr. Todd is intrigued and has been disrupted from his work.  In the center of the room is a very peculiar gentleman with a white face, deep piercing black eyes, unusual hair style, wearing a black cloak, and an impressive red medallion broach hanging from his neck.  His name is Mr. Barnabas Collins he has come to join the gathering to have his favorite glass of deep, rich, red wine.  He raises his wine glass and makes a toast, “Here’s to the floor and what lies beneath may we get what we deserve not what we need.”  If you notice his left hand it is unhurriedly reaching for the Mad Hatter’s magical Portal Hat!  In the dead center is a rather scholarly gentleman carrying a black leather strap bag.  His name is Mr. Ichabod Crane, he is dressed in a long, heather brown harris tweed coachman jacket, button down vest, crushed ivory silk ascot, and two-tone high leather boots.  He has come into the city to investigate a murder.  He is greeted by Mr. Collins in a welcomed cheer!  Mr. Crane is in dismay, he is unsure of the appearance of Mr. Collins, as he is skeptical even a bit fearful of this character directly in his face.  He then wonders, “how in hell did I ever land among such strange characters…”  

Along the back wall there is clock who’s hands are on a specific time, a four pane window, and a wooden framed wall photo of Tonto a Native American from the Potawatomi tribe.  His name means “Crazy One” in Spanish.  As the story goes, Tonto is the last surviving member of the wandering Potawatomi Native Americans.  His tribe was massacred when he was a young boy.  A white boy named John Reid finds Tonto barely alive and cares for him until he heals.  Before they parted ways Tonto gives Reid a ring and called him “Kemosabe,” this means “Faithful Friend.”  Years later becoming a great tracker and hunter, he comes upon the scene of an ambush in Bryants Gap, finding five dead Texas Rangers and one barely alive.  He recognizes the living Ranger who helped him when he was a young boy.  Tonto digs six graves, to make the outlaws believe all six men died.  Reid not to show is true identity wears a mask and is called the Lone Ranger.  Tonto vows his loyalty to his friend and joins him in pursuit of law and order.  It was very popular in those days to have framed photos of great Native American chiefs and warriors hanging on their walls, Tonto was among one of them, and was well placed in Mr Todds barber shoppe.  In the center of the back wall there is a window with four glass panes.  There seems to be a man passing by, his name is Mr. John Shooter.  He is a prominent writer in town known for his unsolved mystery novels.  He cannot stop himself from hearing all the commotion in the shoppe.  He stops, and peeks in through the tiny window, not wanting to expose his identity, he secretly without a peep stares at these most unusual creatures.  He is puzzled and confused wondering if they are actually real or only a figment of his imagination…

I have but one favor to ask, after viewing this illustration please leave your comments and answer one question, who has the golden ticket?

Epilogue

 

Archangel Mikeiel

The Epilogue: Final outcome and Clarity.

The13th and final illustration in the The Michael Jackson Series   2015

Let me begin by saying, this may come to a surprise to many people but not so much in regard to devoted Michael Jackson Fans around the world.  After Michael’s passing people from all over the world reported dreams, visions, appearances, and in equivocal stories of experiences they encountered.  Many fans still write in about unexplainable events and dreams they still encounter.

After spending four years creating the Michael Jackson Series, and publishing my book, I was highly focused and involved in this creative process that became my solitary mission.  I was to somehow tell his story through illustration, and my story through inexplainable experiences, and coincidental factual evidence.  This creative span of time was from 2009 - 2013.

After finishing the Series and the book, two years later in 2015 there was still an abundance of information surfacing about Michael.  Unseen videos, unrecorded music, documentary films, and stories from people who knew him well, and felt secure and ready to be interviewed.  Many of my questions were being answered by factually based articles, stories and information with substantial evidence that continually poured out from the media.  Like a puzzle I began to fit the missing pieces.  The incidents, and unexplainable experiences I encountered for years were making complete sense.  I knew if I exposed this to the public, other than MJ fans, there will be skepticism, doubtfulness, disbelief, distrust, pessimism, and suspicion of character.

As you can see on my blog profile I do Holistic Archangel Readings.  I’ve been practicing this gift for fifteen years mostly for family and close friends.  From time to time I was seeing clients that wanted a personal one on one private reading before the Pandemic.  I do not read over social media.  

Unlike gifted Tarot readers, Physic & Intuitive readers, Spirit Guided readers and Astrologers, the energies I receive are slightly different.  This energy comes from a higher dimension of souls or beings that dwell close to the Divine or from a Divine Source.  There are fifteen Archangels called The Virtues, and their leader for the order as many of you know or have heard is Archangel Michael.  Each Archangel has a specific calling, and if open to receiving this healing energy they affect different areas of our lives.  If you remain in the present your likely to hear their messages comming through as an epiphany, bright ideas, unexpected messages, cautionary measures, and so on.  If you tend to dwell in the past you may miss their influences, and the same if your thinking more towards the future.  

Pope Benedict loved Michael Jackson, he loved him as a man, artist/performer and his music.  He was actually thinking of interviewing Michael, as he felt he experienced everything in his life to be canonized as a Saint, except one more duty, he needed to have performed three miracles during his life.  Due to Michael’s untimely passing Pope Benedict did not have the opportunity to meet with Michael.  

While working on these illustrations I was completely focused on the ability to tell his story.  You can read more about this aspect in my book.  I have come to believe that Michael had the purest soul that a human being could have been given.  When you hear the saying, “pure at heart” this is what I mean.  There was an innocence about him and a child like nature.  He would never intentionally hurt anyone or any living thing.  He had an enormous heart and gave more then he received.  People of all ages were drawn to him, loved him unconditionally, fans were devoted to him, and it was quoted: “When Michael walks into a room the molecules change.”  I believe it!  Many of his co-workers, and close friends said, “Being with Michael was a feeling they could not express in words.” I believe that as well!  

Who is to judge whether or not a mortal soul can become an Archangel?  Some have walked this earth as mortal men and ascended as Archangels.  Who’s to say a higher source can’t send a soul down every once in a while to make a substantial difference in the world by helping humanity?  This has nothing to do with Religion, it has to do with souls that are uniquely special that come here for a reason.  Throughout their lives they suffer pain, they are persecuted, condemned, judged, and falsely accused, ridiculed, and hated.  And yet, they are not capable of any of these accusations.  They become victimized, their reputation on the line, and their sense of self dignity and all they’ve worked hard to accomplish is suddenly stripped away.  What about millions of people they helped, the countless good they offered with an open heart, accepted, and forgave all the wrong doings that were bestowed upon them.  Never judging, never expecting, never wanting anything in return, but to be loved, that is, unconditional love without conditions!

Today, I look upon these unique souls as chosen ones to take on the weight of the world and try to make a difference.  They know their calling and they accept it unconditionally.  Michael at a very young age was wise before his years, he knew why he was here.  His spiritually didn’t show itself until he was older.  The lyrics he wrote about in regard to most of his songs were teachings and sharing valuable information, lessons learned, showing us the way.  He tried to convey the mystery and purpose of life, how being creative is like being in the light, one with self, bliss.  Since he was a child his melodic voice rang out loud and clear, people were affected by the tones, pitch and quality of his voice from a child to a man his voice was hypnotic and addictive.

I’ve come to realize over time who he was and is, when he says “You are not alone, I am hear with you, he is with you in spirit.  I believe when you leave this world those who truly loved him, understood him, and still remain devoted fans will someday know what this 13th  illustration means.

In closing,  Michael was an incredible force that arrived on Earth to make a significant difference, he fulfilled his mission by paying the high cost of saying goodbye.  His eternal connection is now with the fifteen Archangels especially Archangel Michael, who he had an internal affinity for, and likeness of, during his lifetime.  I have added Archangel Mikeiel to my deck of fifteen Archangel Oracle Cards.  When he comes up in a reading people can actually feel his energy even though they were never a devoted fan.  

If your alone and feeling down, isolated, and depressed, and your a devoted fan, call upon him and feel what happens over the following days and months…

L.O.V. E 💙

The Book Cover

Cover  Illustration by Donna Massa   2013

The cover from my book The Untold Stories Behind “The Michael Jackson Series”  is purely a graphic design.  It shows the silhouette of a man walking away, with a long black fitted coat and a large black umbrella.  At the top of the umbrella is the musical staff.  He is encased in a specific shape that symbolizes the unique and precious brilliance of a flawless rare diamond.  The two colors used are black and Indigo blue.  At the base of the diamond is Michael’s unmistakable logo of his name MJ.  He is carrying his unmistakable umbrella to protect him from the sun.  He walks alone on a path towards eternal life.  His job on earth is complete, he is stoic, confident and proud as he walks away without regrets.  He gave all of himself to humanity and chose the road less traveled.  There were many bumps, pit falls, and blocks along the way, but they did not detract from his mission.  He achieved all that was humanly possible and left an undelible imprint on humanity forever.  

There will never be another Michael Joseph Jackson…

Heal The World

“Heal The World”

The 12th Illustration In The Michael Jackson Series.

Illustration by Donna Massa  2012

The is the end of Michael’s Untold Story in this Series.  This illustration depicts the very essence of Michael’s legacy.  If you notice, part of the illustration is done in pen & ink and the other in color.  Everything in black and white symbolizes the past and all that is a hazard to ones self.  The foliage is a combination of three poisonous plants: poison Sumac, poison Ivy and poison Oak.  There are also allergy-related irritants such as Golden Rod, and Ragweed.  On the far left, you will see the crown of thorns, and a bush with poisonous red berries.  In this place there is an absence of all color; it is hazardous to ones health and well-being.  The bridge symbolizes the passageway between the old world that is left behind and the new world that lies ahead.  In the new world, the ambiance is fresh and the vegetation is lush, tropical with bright vivid colors.  There are carefully chosen tropical varieties that offer everything that is beautiful to look at, fragrant to smell, and harmless to one’s touch.

It is a paradise!  Michael is center right, portrayed standing proud among his grown family, arms extended out to embrace them.  He is dressed in a custom lapel white linen tunic blouse, white jeans with a rich gold belt around his waist.  Embroiled on his white tunic blouse is the violet crown chakra. The highest symbol of personal identification, infinite oneness, peace, wisdom, and pure spiritual connection with the Divine.  More than a decade has passed, and his three children have grown well into their twenties.  At center left next to her father is Paris.  Her unmistakable beauty, hypnotic blue eyes, melodic voice and trend setting fashion sense has a style all on its own.  She is dressed in unique fashionable clothes with the Aries symbol embroidered on the cuff of her velvet stylized jacket.  She is wearing high all leather boots and black stretch velveteen leggings.  Around her neck she wears a pearl necklace with the symbol yin-yang etched in Ivory and Onyx.  She is cuddling an infant child carefully wrapped in a rainbow blanket, the newest of the New Age Rainbow children.  Next to her is her brother Prince, who is strikingly handsome with deep-set warm brown eyes.  He stands relaxed and casually dressed in a comfortable attire.  He is wearing a charcoal cashmere sport coat with black velvet lapels, a white t-shirt and black faded jeans.  His sport coat pocket has the symbol of his name Prince, embroiled in black silk.  Around his neck he wears a necklace in Hematite Polished Tumblestone crafted with the symbol of the Planet Uranus, the ruling planet of Aquarius.  On the opposite side to the right of Michael is Bigi.  He is also easy on the eyes with his large black penetrating eyes and long raven black hair.  He is wearing a heather-green draped long suede shirt with stylized black jeans with a decorative embroidered hemline.  Around his neck are three necklaces: the first is a symbol of unity in black Onyx; the second also in Onyx is the symbol of the Planet Neptune, the ruler of Pisces;  and the third is Jade gemstones with the feather from a golden Eagle.  The five “Panethic” children gathered below Michael’s Crystal children are the newest generation of Rainbows, each wearing a large yellow embroidered emblem of one letter spelling the word “Unity.”

In Michael’s song “Heal The World,” his lyrics are powerful and informative.  If you listen very carefully, he speaks of a better world where there is no fear, hurt, sham, guilt, or sorrow, only bliss and joyful giving.  The lyrics of this song explains what humanity must do to recreate a new world, it is through the highest power on Earth, that of L.O.V.E., that will teach us to achieve his vision of a better world.

This last illustration sets the stage,  Everyone’s in place The Indigo’s were the seed starters, the Crystal children will carry the healing touch, and the Rainbow’s will deliver its promise of unity and peace.  Michael’s legacy is his children.  Over many decades they will embrace a new era, a time of humanitarian efforts, new technologies, people coming together to help save our only home Planet Earth.  This is time of great change and it is upon us.  Michael would have loved to have welcomed in this new era “The Age of Aquarius,”  Each generation will embrace this new frontier with their empowering energies, spirit, God given gifts, and love for mankind.  These are the necessary tools to propel the shift in healing the world.

Michael loved all children of the world, but more importantly. He knew intuitively their tremendous significance to our future and the destiny of our planet.  The second part of Michael’s legacy is the preservation of these special children.  That is why he was planning to build a hospital in his name; Michael’s Children’s Hospital.  He wanted his children to inherit this most cherished concept.  Michael was determined to provide a safe haven with the best doctors, specialists, surgeons, state of the arts technology, research, working on the cutting edge of new discoveries, treatments and cures.  This was Michael’s way to protect, nurture and heal these important children so they would achieve their intrinsic role on Earth.  It is also important to include another added wing to his children’s hospital, and that was to provide special treatment and therapy for the homeless, abused, neglected, abandoned, traumatized, and forgotten children.  Nothing would stand in their way from achieving their earthly goals as well.  All of these children would someday provide the inevitable: a joyful existence, a better home, a better place, to heal and unify a better world…

 

Rainbow Children

The Rainbow Children

The 11th illustration in the Michael Jackson Series

Illustration by Donna Massa  2012

The Rainbow Children are the newest evolution of mankind coming to the new world.  These light beings profoundly entered our earthly realm in 2010 and will continue to enter until 2030.  What makes these child so different, for one they are new souls they have not gone through the process of reincarnation or karmic lessons.  Michael anticipated these bright stars although he may not have known them as Rainbows.  

Michael contemplated many new projects one being to have another child to join his other two.  Bigi even though he is a Crystal child could be on the cusp of Rainbow.  This would depend on the exact calculations and degrees of his astrological Nadir chart.  If that is so, then Bigi will be different then his other siblings.  The only way to know is over time.  The Rainbows are universally affectionate.  It is said they heal with their hearts and envelope us in a rainbow-colored energy.  Michael had an affinity toward all children of the world he knew what their missions would be in healing and uniting the world.  

The Rainbow children are highly evolved children with keen senses.  They are sensitive, happy, healing, loving, and forgiving.  These children are quite exceptional and are driven by a higher frequency and at times it’s a challenge to keep them still.  They have strong immunity’s to many viruses that may appear on the planet.  As you well know these children along with the newer Crystals have managed to bypass the global Pandemic.  They share an affinity for bright colors and dislike any form of violence, yelling, screaming, arguing and loud noises.  The lower energies of evil cannot penetrate these children and they will not understand war, fighting or any forms of brutality.  They are the 9th dimension of consciousness, this means joy, harmony, all knowing, and a connection to the Divine source of Oneness.  There mission here is to finally unite the world.

In this illustration all that you see is an extension of these extraordinary children.  This is demonstrated by using the animals and birds that bring out the special and unique qualities they bestow.  This is shown by the green heart chakra, symbol of eternal love and soul/heart consciousness.  It hangs from the neck of Pegasus, the cream-colored, winged horse in flight, who’s aspirations are to bring forth knowledge, glory, and inspiration.  The Unicorn is a wonderful, mystical, white horse who brings wisdom and light to those virtuous in deeds.  He is a symbol of magic, miracles, purity, innocence, and enchantment.  The large Stork, with the energized wings, long sturdy neck, and pointed red beak, holds the precious bundles of the Rainbow babes.  These great birds symbolize material protection and a keen instinctive nature in caring for their young.  Also, shown is the grace of the Royal White Swan!  This breathtaking bird is noted for its peace, tranquility, and loyalty.  It represents the power and beauty reflected within these children.  The blue water is life, flowing in constant motion in the direction of the current, that moves the waters in its natural direction, driven by the winds voice.  The multicolored Lily Pads and Water Lilies that float and border the lake’s banks are symbolic of Divine birth of all nations endowed with wisdom and illumination.  The children range from newborns to toddlers three years of age.  They are arriving from many nations, riding on the rays of all colors within the spectrum of the rainbow.  These are the children who will deliver peace to our new world. The transformation of humanity, the givers of new life.

Parents and teachers should understand that the New Age Children are very unique and dear to us and should always appreciate their original gifts they bring.  These gifts will help us evolve as they evolve.

Their mission is to guide, help, inspire, teach, and bring peace to all living things.  This is why Michael wanted so much to have children, he wanted to experience their delight.  Michael also wanted to nurture, protect, and harbor these special children, to thoroughly enjoy watching them develop and grow.  Not only his children but all the children of the world.  His intrinsic need to protect them and keep them healthy and strong is why he wanted a Children’s hospital in his name so he could help keep these New Age Children well in order for them to fulfill their missions here on Earth…

Michael’s Crystal Children

The 11th Illustration in The Michael Jackson Series

Illustration by Donna Massa  2012

0To define the Crystal children, let me begin by saying that these New Age children first appeared on the planet during the late 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s up to the year 2000.  Michael, being of the Indigo vibration, was somewhat aware to the coming these special children.  He intuitively understood that other New Age children were coming to Earth and they would be different.  He saw it in their faces, he would say “When I look into the faces of children I see angels.”  He somehow felt these children could use their keen senses and unusual gifts to help heal our planet.  Many of these gifted children were born into dysfunctional domestic environments.  They came to this world with varied learning disabilities, ADD, ADHD, OCD, Asperger’s Syndrome, Autism, Asthma, allergies and other child-related disorders. However, they have a higher resistances to diseases especially newer strains.  That being said, they are very sensitive, loving, intuitive, highly evolved, and very bright.  Once they find their true purpose in life, they are driven toward careers that contribute, care for, and financially aid in making this world a better place.  Due to their earlier afflictions, many of them strive to overcome their setbacks and childhood disorders and attain spiritual growth to achieve greatness.  They a highly gifted and multi talented they seem to be wise beyond their years.  They have an important role here on Earth.  They are the warriors and soldiers of wisdom.  They will contribute to necessary causes and fight for solutions in shaping our new world.

Because Michael wanted to become a father, when the time was right during his career he wanted to have children.  His first two children were born in late 1990’s, and his last child was born 2001.  His first son Prince was born under the sign of Aquarius, his daughter Paris was born under the sign of Aries, and his second son Bigi was born under the sign of Pisces.  

Michael was an avid reader.  He obtained the knowledge and understanding of his own astrological chart and took an interest in other zodiac signs as well.  He gravitated toward people who inspired him, particularly individuals with whom he was naturally comfortable with.  He respected and admired all the greats, the famous inventors, artists, authors, scientists, and historical figures throughout our history.  

Interestingly enough when it came to the science of Astrology, the sign of Aquarius is an important zodiac sign for numerous reasons. One of the reasons I will point out is that Michael married the first true love of his life, a women who was born under the sign of Aquarius.  She was inspirational to him and highly creative in her own right.  Aries is another important and influential zodiac sign for this reason: she was one of the most influential female performing artist and singer.  She was ambitious, determined and a successful influence in Michael’s early adult life she was born under the sign of Aries.  She also played an immense role in initiating confidence in his career and inspiring him as a young artist and performer.  His most cherished older female friend, who he deeply adored, admired, and respected, was a highly gifted and most beautiful actress.  They shared a unique and enduring friendship with Michael and she was born under the sign of Pisces.

I will point out although it could be purely coincidental Michael’s three children are born under are those three signes… 

We have entered a new era, it occurred December 21, 2020 when the Planets Jupiter and Saturn aligned in Aquarius at 00.29 degrees Aquarius.  An event they call the “great conjunction”  by which these two planters will pass by each other extremely close, the last time this occurred was in 1623.  This new age can last between 200 and 400 years.  The underlying theme of the Aquarius Age will be resilience, liberation, and replacing toxic systems with healthier, inclusive, and unifying alternatives.  I believe Michael was aware of the so called Age of Aquarius and would have loved to be a part of this great shift in humanity.

This illustration symbolizes and visually defines everything Michael’s 

children will offer and bring to this new world.  Every individual feature and expression, the zodiac symbol of their Sun sign, Ascendent or Rising signs, and their ruling planets.  Every flower, plant, and aura around them are symbolic of their natures.  The phoenix rising, lovebirds, the dolphin, and the butterfly represent their different characters and personality traits.  The terracotta pot and the element of water running through the illustration is also significant as water signifies emotions.  The stoic, regal strength of the Oak tree, its three extended branches, and the colors that bond and blend within this illustration are extremely imperative to its composition.  Beneath the children lies a crystal orb, that reflects the Golden Rays of the Crystal vibration that will bring love, unity, healing and balance to mankind.  At the top of the illustration is their loving father looking over them with adoration and pride.  He spreads his royal indigo blue aura over his children, letting them know he will always be with them, and creates a shield of enduring protection.  

It is important to understand the Crystal Children will bring great significance to our new world and will group together to work with others like themselves to sustain justice, fairness, equality, and unity if not, their voices will be heard.  Michael always said “The future of our world are our children.”  However, Michael worried about the future of humanity, he knew we would be tested in all ways, from environmental issues, mental and emotional upheavals, great challenges, financial difficulties, the threat of war, unfavorable political leaders, and learning to survive in unpredictable, uncertain and most dangerous times.  What he wanted most for his children was to prepare themselves to be practical leaders, to look to the future with hope and faith in our fellow man, and to evolve and transcend to a higher level of consciousness.

 

Indigo Child

 

 The Indigo Child

The 9th Illustration in The Michael Jackson Series

Illustration by Donna Massa  2011

Let me begin by first defining what “The Indigo Child” means.  The earliest reports of the first New Age children are called Indigo’s.  These children first appeared just after World War II.  Between 1950 and 1960.  There was a strong surge of them being born.  The last of the Indigo’s were born in the late 60’s and 70’s.  They are part of the newer Indigo vibration.  The colors of the Indigo vibration are royal blue, midnight blue, and purple blue.  The most important physical attributes if these children are their eyes, the shape, size, and color, their deep expression of sympathy and wisdom.  These children are sensitive, intuitive, and compassionate, with a clear sense of self-definition and a strong feeling that they need to make a significant difference in the world.  They came into the world for one reason: to initiate the start of significant change.  Many of them choose to become vegetarians.  They are diet conscious, and they believe in all that is natural and have deep respect for nature and all its inhabitants.  They place a high regard for health and keeping the body fit and a strong tendency to fight the aging process.  Their involvement with humanity displayed itself as a burning desire to become deeply involved and passionate about their beliefs through rallying and demonstrations, reaching out to help bring awareness and inspire others to evoke change.  They embody a deep sense of equality, privacy, and integrity.  They stick to strong matters of principle, so don’t be mistaken: Indigo’s will stand firmly by their convictions if compromised.  Many of them are activists, advocates for what they believe in and not afraid to speak their minds.  The newer Indigo’s that have come into the world are currently in power but soon they will be on their way out.  They are extremely intelligent, bright, spirited, and wired to a slightly higher realm, and they are slowly raising to a higher level of consciousness.  They are naturally in tune, sensitive, highly spirited, multi gifted, intuitive and clairvoyant.  As they mature they seek to implement positive values, acting out to improve fairness and justice by introducing subtle changes from the old ways into the new.  The older they get the wiser they become striving to understand the feeling of total connection of mind, body and spirit.

Indigo children are the seed starters.  They are the predecessors of the newer generation to come and are the fortunate parents of the second New Age children of the golden Crystal vibration the Crystal Children.

As Indigo’s they have inspired and served as mentors.  They have been charting new concourses, paving new paths, building foundations, and providing newer ways to exemplify change.

Michael Jackson was an exceptionally evolved Indigo Child.  He became aware of his callings early in his life.  Especially in regard to music, voice, dance, writing, the performing arts, and the Fine Arts.  Children and animals practically every living thing were also all essential parts of his world.  He innately knew the profound effect they would have on this earth.  

This illustration is the first of Michael’s Untold Stories.  It visually expresses everything that was and is Michael Jackson.  Let’s begin with Michael’s signature black umbrella.  The end of the umbrella is his microphone he held most of his entire life.  It extends upward, reaching out towards the umbrella panels and exposing sections of Michael’s Untold Story.  One of the panels is missing, and Michael is looking right through it.  His placid expression and serious glare stares directly into his audience.  The panels represent the future, the new projects he was ready to engage in, all rendered in black & white.  He is shown as a composes/writer working on classical music and as a movie director/producer on the set sitting in his director’s chair.

One World

Michael’s  One World

8th Illustration in The Michael Jackson Series

By Donna Massa  2011

The Concept of “One World” was Michael’s vision.  If humanly possible he would have traveled to the ends of the earth to fulfill this quest.  During his life he hoped for our future’s sake that the children of all nations would link together and share this common goal. That being said, when the time came, if necessary, he would have exhausted all measures in any attempt to make his dream come true.  

In this illustration my goal was to visually express Michael’s vision.  The large futuristic ark is his adaptation of a modern architectural design.  The ark is only used to suggest a way out if necessary due to the severe global climate changes we will be facing in the future.  Similar to the story of Noah, there is a gathering of all living things.  The particular animals I’v chosen to show were some of the animals that Michael cherished during his lifetime, even to the butterflies, and hummingbirds.

The children represent at least seven continents and many other nations.  Some children are dressed in their native costumes, each assembling to enter this beautiful heaven of freedom and intrinsic serenity.  Michael is casually dressed in a light-blue cardigan sweater, which represents peace and tranquility.  He is present at this joyous celebration as he shares delight in each child’s expression of joy, unity, adoration and compatibility among all God’s creatures.  Blanket now Bigi Jackson his youngest son, clings to his father’s leg for security.  He is wearing a red T-shirt and holding a red balloon.  The color red symbolizes strong emotions of passion, love, and beauty and beside blue is one of Michael’s favorite colors.  I chose the Beech tree, the “goddess of trees” which sums up the wisdom and unification of all trees.  It symbolizes understanding, sustenance, and preservation of knowledge for all generations to come.  The grassy terrain is made up of varying slopes in many shades of green.  Green is the color of healing, and the peaks and valleys represent the many stages and degrees of healing.  Michael’s oldest children are in the forefront, for they are the gatherers.  They instinctively know their purpose, and the other children flock to them for attention, acceptance, love, and understanding.  One World is a heavenly place the way Planet Earth first began, it was pure, innocent and naive that is why Michael chose children to be brought together so they may change, heal, and unite in becoming Michael’s One World…

 

The 7th Illustration in the Michael Jackson Series

Title: “Whatever Happens”

Illustration by Donna Massa  2011

This Illustration was created purely from my imagination and my heart.  The song “Whatever Happens” is entirely moving and emotional for me, and from the moment I heard it, I knew it had to be illustrated.  The Spanish rhythm, Carlos Santana’s signature lead guitar and style, beautiful lyrics, and Michael’s voice were the scene that literally set the stage.  Michael is portrayed as the entertainer as he stands center stage,  He is dressed as a Spaniard with a black custom dress shirt and black fitted pants.  His long black hair is severely pulled back.  He wears a plain black leather dress belt with a secondary Spanish sterling silver belt ornate with embossed silver studs hanging to one side.  He reaches out with his right hand in a dance of intertwined unity, while his left arm pulls toward the back, his hand expressing dramatic need.  His stunning profile, sincere glare in his eyes, and intense expression speak for themselves as he sings from his heart.  The principle dancer, standing to Michael’s right, is his Spanish Senorita, who is portrayed by Miss Joan Sevigny.  She is in a traditional Spanish Flamenco dress.  She wears a black- and-white embroidered lace vest bodice with a black silk fringe.  Her dress is fuchsia pink in Regal satin, with the the same pattern of the black lace border around the entire hemline of the skirt.  Satin petite buttons streamline down the entire back of her dress.  She wears a purple satin asymmetrically draped, overlay, ruffled flounce that she dramatically swishes with her right hand as she moves and joins in the dance of their hands.  Their hair intertwines like a fragile rope with a cloud of maize yellow, that symbolizes the endless devotion and blissful joy they share with each other.  On the far left, the great Carlos Santana traditionally sits and plays his enchanting guitar, accompanying the dance between these two kindred souls.  

This piece is illustrated from the front and Michael’s back I felt would be a more compelling view for the audience.  I also chose to identify each character with his and her own individual spotlight and hue.  The individual hues highlight the unique identity of each character as the spotlight matches the true colors of their emotional presence on stage.  It is also important to point out that this is a story about two lovers who’s enduring love is compromised and complicated.  It is symbolic of the very dance that Michael so often spoke about in his songwriting of forbidden love and the difficulties of finding true everlasting unconditional love throughout his career. 

In this particular dance Michael repeatedly had only one request: 

“Don’t let go of my hand…”

Title:  ‘Twas The Night   

Illustration by Donna Massa  2010

Description:  In this illustration Michael is symbolically compared to the real St. Nicholas of Myra, who lived in the fourth century AD.  It is remarkable, their personalities and character traits I found to be amazingly one and the same.  In this adaptation of the story “ ‘Twas The Night” before Christmas, Michael is portrayed as a king rather than Santa Claus.  His clothing attire is similar to that of the Holy Fathers a Cardinal, Bishop, or Pope, he wears his jeweled crown that was exclusively designed for him.  I chose the colors red and burgundy for his outer robe, for these are the colors of royalty.  The intricate gold-threaded brocade borders his entire robe, and his gold satin cuffs are symbols of the jeweled inlaid motifs customary of a Pope’s robe.  His hand mitts are made of soft white leather with square-shaped jeweled motifs.  In his right hand, he holds the staff of St. Nicholas and in his left hand the candle of holy light.  He carries toys in a velvet sapphire sack and is scurrying about with no time to waste.  The room that shelters his three children is designed with furniture of the sixth-century England.  The floor boards are composed of rich, glazed, painted oak traditional of the times.  Above the canopy bed is the white peace dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit.  It’s light and purity beam out over his children with eternal grace and unconditional love.  They are tucked in securely with a white embroiled cotton eyelet bed skirt, while their stockings are hung neatly on the stylized notches joined to the front of the foot board.  As a devoted father and king, Michael’s most important stop is his children first, for they are the very essence of his heart and soul…
