Michael Jackson drawings (Miscell inc. 'Historic portraits' and 'Disney characters')

I'm noticing a sudden influx of MJ signed Michael Jackson drawings coming on to the auction market, which seem to share the common themes of either 'portraits of historical figures'  or 'Disney characters'.

Both of these themes are of course recognised from Michaels' drawings both at a young age and later in life, but it is interesting that so many new drawings are being released on to the market at the same time. 

Here are some current examples:

I thought there were 200 of them.  In any case, it was a LOT either way. 

romartenuova is actually tracing or copying already fake drawings.  Its ironic that there are fakes of fakes.... (and sad)

The 'Makris' fakes are widely 'saved' as 'MJ drawings' by fans on pinterest etc, and other fakers then copy them....and so  on ad-infinitum.

w- please read your messages

Not to derail this thread (and my apologies in advance), but you don't see this type of information anywhere else (as far as I know) and why we all need to donate a few dollars to the AML Defense Fun.

Where else can you get opinions from the numerous MJ experts on one website and those same experts who expose MJ sellers of forgeries.

Well said, Chris.

I agree! This thread is a great exemple of why I hope every member donate something, every $ will help!

Thank you, Steve and Jan.

 Two 'interesting' drawings ascribed to MJ, which are presented as part of framed multi-image (photo) pieces currently offered on invaluable from the 'Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries'. These pieces will be auctioned on 18th August as part of the 'Blackwell Collection', but no further information about them (or the collection) seems to be available online.   The Blackwell collection overall includes a very wide range of items, and is reminiscent of perhaps a dealer's stock?

A) Lot 278 Est $1,000 (includes black ink male profile sketch)

(A very similar blue ink drawing attributed to Michael since at least 2006, is recorded in MJ online collections. The blue sketch has no message and is initialled but not signed. The black ink version has the appearance of a poor copy of the blue.)

B) Lot 279 Est $1,000 (includes red ink sketch of an indeterminate face)

 Michael Jackson Signed Self Portrait Sketch from "Bad"

(I have been unable to find any similar prior sketches by MJ)

c) Lot 318 Est $1,000 (Not a drawing, but from the same collection, so included here for interest)

Info. about the auction is as follows:

The centerpiece of Blackwell Motors, in southeastern Missouri, is the Blackwell Collection, a fabulous array of objects connected to iconic stars of music (rock & country), TV and the movies, sports, car racing and much more. On August 18th & 19th, with previewing Aug. 16th & 17th, Mid-Hudson Galleries will be conducting a huge auction that will undoubtedly rank as one of the most extensive, thrilling celebrity events of all time. While all are invited to attend in person (Bonne Terre is an hour south of St. Louis), there are multiple ways for absentee bidders to participate. Cars, motorcycles, movie/TV costumes, instruments, sports items, Buddy Holly's "Cricketmobile" a 1955 Pontiac Chieftain and Buddy Holly's Cessna 172 Plane and Sgd Flight Log Book... something for everyone in the great Blackwell Collection Auction.

There seem to have been a few of this style around recently, so I've added a little 'retrospective' collection form previous pages on this thread, and elsewhere, in the photos below:

 

 

 Simon Parr auctions is still selling fake MJ drawings (as per previous discussions on this thread (from appx. page 66 onwards) on Lot Privee (private Lot), a French auction platform.  The charcoal 'Thriller Mickey' sketch is marked as 'sold'.

It is notable that each drawing carries the statement 'This item is sold by a professional art dealer who guaranties its authenticity '   :

This is all really sad, Lizzie. Infuriating.
