‘Dig, If You Will, The Picture’ – MJ Arts

A tribute laced with reverence and flair, Dig, If You Will, The Picture is MJ Arts’ electrified ode to the Purple One. Capturing both magnetism and melancholy, this charcoal and pastel portrait feels like it was pulled straight from a dreamscape—hair alive with motion, eyes lit with violet spark, and doves in flight overhead. The text floats like lyrics in air: “God’s a blessing, and I consider it a blessing that you’re thinking about me…” It’s an image wrapped in myth and memory.

MJ Arts uses restraint and chaos in equal measure, guiding us through loss, legacy, and love with every scribbled strand and smudged whisper of colour. With its raw textures and soft surrealism, this piece sings in a quiet key—and still commands the room.
