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:

Thankfully, it seems that no-one bid, as the item was passed.

Michael Jackson (1958-2009), Ink on Paper

Signed (lower right)

Image Dimensions: 15 x 10 1/4 in (38 x 26 cm)
Frame Dimensions: 18 3/4 x 14 1/2 in (47.5 x 36.9 cm)

Provenance and Authentication:
This collectible has undergone a rigorous forensic evaluation. The signatures were carefully analyzed across multiple criteria, including ink deposition, material aging characteristics, stylistic consistency, and historical alignment. The findings provide a sound basis for authenticity and historical context, and the piece is accompanied by comprehensive documentation supporting both its provenance and verification.

This striking ink drawing by Michael Jackson, the "King of Pop," presents a minimalist yet instantly recognizable depiction of his signature dance pose-legs crossed and toes poised on the ground, complete with glittering socks and high-top shoes. Executed in confident black lines, the image encapsulates the movement, flair, and rhythm that defined Jackson's stage presence. Below the figure, Jackson has added his bold autograph, merging visual art with his personal brand. Such drawings are exceedingly rare, offering not only a symbolic representation of his performance style but also a highly collectible, autographed work of art from the icon himself.

Any statement made in any catalogue or otherwise regarding the origin, date, age, attribution, authenticity, or estimated selling price of any lot is an expression of opinion only. Such statements do not constitute a representation, warranty, or assumption of liability by I&J Auction in relation to any lot.

Prospective buyers are strongly advised to satisfy themselves as to the accuracy and reliability of the catalogue description prior to making a purchase.

The fake-MJ-signed copy of a post-memorial fan painting called 'Going Home' is up for sale again on Liveauctioneers, from a Florida-based seller with ridiculous estimates ($50-$75k), and minimum bid of $10k.
