An amazing opening night--a red carpet event, which was a "yellow carpet" due to the yellow brick road of course.
Lots of media coverage and interviews-this was a star studded event with my original "Ditching Dorothy" painting
being featured with the fine art Inspirations of Oz.

A word about Michael Jackson:
This is a personal photo that has never been shown until today. It was taken on June 15, 2009 upon leaving Michael Jackson's house. It was a day when I had much to look forward to, considering I had just dropped off three pieces of art to Michael Jackson and had made plans to return the following week with pieces for his children. He was personally signing my cd set for me and mentioned taking a photo upon my return. The plans were in the works for him to privately come to my studio and see my artwork with no one to bother him. No media..no paparazzi. He wanted to see more of my art..as he put it.. "a lot more." I thought I had all the time in the world to develop a relationship with this iconic man and show him my world. I would find out all too soon..time was running out.
This photo, which may seem from a photography standpoint to be, "not very good," is personally so much more. It is a moment in time that cannot be recaptured. I was behind the grand gates of Mr. Jackson's home: the photo shows my point of view from my vehicle-you can see one of the many waiting paparazzi cars outside and the Christmas wreaths he had on both gates, because he never got to celebrate Christmas as a child. As I sat there, I waited for the grand gates to open, but I knew I'd be back the following week. Little did I know what was in store for the world..a legend would disappear in front of our eyes.
--Nelson De La Nuez
