To celebrate the 30th anniversary of ‘Dangerous’, artist Mark Ryden who created the beautiful artwork for Michael’s 1991 album, has shared some of his original concepts on his Instagram page.
He said;
30 years ago today, Michael Jackson’s “Dangerous” album was released. Here are my other sketches for the project. I’ve never shown these before. I had 5 days to come up with ideas. I feverishly worked that week and came up with one resolved design per day. The parameters I was given were to focus on Michael’s eyes, show the earth in peril, and include kids and animals. I was instructed the image could be scary, but should still be fun. This was the most exciting project of my life up to that point.
Est. 1998
