Rap producer Swizz Beatz’ has paid his own special tribute to Michael Jackson by painting a portrait of the late superstar.

Beatz is a keen art collector but he's now picked up the paintbrush himself to express his sadness at the King of Pop's tragic death last month.

He's created a mixed-media piece featuring an image of the Thriller hitmaker in his Jackson 5 heyday, and has posted a photo of the artwork, named Remember the Time, online.

  Writing on his Twitter.com page, he says, "R.I.P. MJ the great. I took some time out to do a dedication piece tonight instead of rocking in the studio."
