Michael Jackson Transformed Into King By New York Artist

A New York artist has created a Michael Jackson portrait so preposterous the King Of Pop would be proud.

Titled 'Equestrian Portrait of King Phillip II', the late singer is transformed into the historic ruler on horseback by 32-year-old artist Kehinde Wiley.

The oil on canvas is up for sale at Art Basel in Miami Beach, Florida right now and should fetch a tidy sum.
