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:

 On ebay, a 'Frankenstein' drawing that we have seen before at online auction, now offered at £499.99, from the same (northern England) part of the UK. With a very familiar fake signature.

  It seems that this UK ebay seller of fake MJ drawings is likely to be 'Kristen Leigh auctions' ... See previous page for the same item being sold by them via icollector in January '25. 

Note: The drawings sold via Heritage Auctions which are pictured on ebay with this item are also forgeries which have been discussed previously in this forum.

A few Michael Jackson drawings have been sold by Heritage auctions in the US, the third largest auction house in the world, and I enclose a screen shot of those drawings listed by Heritage (Images 4 and 5). 
This Michael Jackson drawing in this auction of Mickey Mouse dancing like Michael Jackson carries a certificate of authenticity.
The image measures 13x9 inches.

  'MJ Dancing' is becoming a popular repeat-fake drawing. 

First seen as two black and white drawings on page 86 in this thread, there is now a coloured painted copy being offered via a Canadian auction house on liveauctioneers, for bids starting at $200.

  These are the earlier versions for comparison.  The new coloured drawing and signature are clear copies of the 2nd image.

* That should say 'drawings 2. and 1. are from p86 of this thread'. (Image 3. is the new one. )

  A new copy (looks like a tracing) on Etsy, of an early MJ original drawing which was shown by one of his former classmates on the Antiques Roadshow. The owner had shown the original to Jermaine, who suggested that it looked like one of MJ's tutors (Rose Fine?) 

Framed copy Offered at £393.17

The poor partial copy lacks the subtle variations in stroke width utilized to convey expression on the original.
