Nelson De La Nuez @kingofpopart Twitter

Hey guys!
Have u noticed that the handwriting is very very similar to MJ's?    :shock:
I also asked him a couple hours ago why he said it was ``thanks - Michael`` and then posted the pic with just ``Thank You`` written.
Why would he lie though? This whole thing is weird

@PTsmile Sorry-I had been traveling so I didn't have this w/me to see, but the envelope says "Nelson"-did not say his name anywhere    about 10 hours ago   from web  in reply to PTsmile

Yes, the handwriting has similarities - especially the use of capitals in the word.

This is the guy that sold pictures to MJ before he "died."  Go and read his tweets!!!! Very interesting indeed.

He saw someone in Vegas surrounded by security.  Even though he does believe MJ "died," he was astonished how much this person looked like the MJ he met before he "died."

Your comments?

What he saw was an impersonator named Michael Kiss. He posted this picture... You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login He replies and even retweets to and from believers. I find his tweets rather strange... especially his "but I have to believe he is dead..." tweet. I don't know if it was to ward off the believers or maybe he's just having doubts whether he is alive or dead. Or maybe it could mean that he is really gone and he has to face the 'facts.' I don't mean to say that that was what he meant but it sure struck me and that's what came to me... or maybe I'm just going loony? lol

Oh and if MJ ever decides to go out... he won't need a disguise. People will just think he's another impersonator lol.  :lol:  :idea:

I love his work. Wanna order 1 or 2 but can't choose which ones.

Do we know who this guy is exactly? And I mean before June 25... Or does Mike make those paintings himself maybe...?

[bliss1712]

Michael commissioned him to make some paintings for him.  He visited Michael a little less than 2 weeks before he "passed" to discuss some paintings.  His children later received these paintings as a present for Christmas.

Incidentally, when he visited Mike, he did not notice anything out of the ordinary, and did not think Mike was on anything

That story I know, but I am asking if we have fotos and video footage of that guy, and with that I mean from before June 25, 2009. I just get the feeling he has painted them himself, I don't know why I suddenly think that. But that is why I ask if we know this guy...

[~Souza~]

And why does he call himself Kingofpopart? Art by the King of Pop? That wicked witch of the west reminds me of one of Mike's drawings, same style. A lot of his work is very funny as well. I don't know, it's just a feeling.

I have been asking myself same questions about the guy. The name, the sudden appearance to the general public :?  I did however find some prior references to him and his gallery on the net, :?  e.g.

If you go to his Twitter You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login and read down, you will find a picture of him and Michael together when they first met.  Also a picture of him leaving Carolwood on the day he visited him.  He also has a new book out.

This is funny. I always thought of that possibility too.

Once, in another thread, I asked about the bio of DelaNuez and then suddenly somebody from the DelaNuez-public-relations-team signed in here and told me to look at the kingofpopart-homepage to find all relevant infos (as if I didn't do that before). See here You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.
The member only signed in at that moment and never posted again nor logged in again, very odd.  

Thinking about Mike's painting abilities, I assume that he could very well have made those paintings, although it would have required a huge amount of free time do so (but what do we actually know about Mike's working habits to exclude that possibility?).

We know that Mike took painting lessons and Nordahl once said that he was very demanding in an artistic way and always wanted to improve, so I think he could have brought his style to perfection and made up a plan to distribute his works under an alias.

To go further in this speculation, I allege that Mike did some more paintings which we attribute to other artists, such as "The Book" by Brett Livingstone-Strong. Everything about this picture is strange (added frame, curtain, key) and also the storys around it's appearences after june25th09. I think that this painting and it's sale as the most expensive portrait of a living artist was a hoax even back in the 90s (..remember Livingstone showing up at the funeral in front of the Liberian Girl picture).

So I think it's time for DelaNuez' and also Livingstone-Strong's PR-manager to log in here and set the record straight.
