The extraordinary work of ZILK INC. artists featured in Michael Jackson's "THIS IS IT"

Los Angeles, CA – The extraordinary work of ZILK INC. artists, Michael Jackson's Costume Designers, Michael Bush & Dennis Tompkins and Michael Jackson's Personal Makeup & Hair Artist, Karen Faye, is featured in "THIS IS IT", the film that opened in theaters on October 28, 2009. The film is a based on the rehearsal footage for Michael Jackson's sold-out tour that was scheduled to open in London at the O2 arena this past July.

Having shared so much of the past three decades together, through countless appearances, performances and three world tours, Michael Jackson, Michael Bush, Dennis Tompkins and Karen Faye were so excited to be reunited as a team on the "THIS IS IT" Tour. Working with the unmatched entertainment genius of Michael Jackson and wonderful man they called friend, was always their honor and privilege.

As per Michael Jackson's request, Michael Bush was designing all of the costumes that Michael Jackson and the dancers would be wearing on stage. Karen Faye worked with Michael Jackson daily, preparing him for each rehearsal and designing his look for the tour.

Sadly, on June 25, 2009, they had to say an unexpected goodbye to their cherished friend.

Michael Bush sums up the bond they had formed over so many years, "Michael (Jackson) was always more concerned about our feelings and whether or not we were happy. He would even take the time out to make sure, which was so special. Every time we did an award show with Michael… when he won a Grammy, when he won an American Music Award, when he won Entertainer of the Decade, of the World…. Michael would come off stage and to me and Karen Faye, and he would always say, “Look what WE did!”
