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:

 Heritage Auctions:

Michael Jackson Signed Pillow and Letter of Authenticity (1997). A 14" x 15" cotton pillow depicting Mickey Mouse, boldly signed and inscribed by Michael Jackson in black felt tip pen. On the upper-left, he's written "GOOD Night . M.J." while at the lower-right, the King of Pop has autographed "I love you / You are my life / Michael Jackson". Accompanying the lot is an 8.5" x 11" letter of authenticity on MJJ Productions letterhead made out to John, signed by Michael in black felt tip. Both items Very Good showing some wear due to handling and age, while all signatures and inscriptions remain vibrant, crisp and clear. From RS.

 A similar Mickey drawn with his hands over his eyes was last posted in this thread on page 62 (dated 5 June 2015).  The drawings and sigs are not the same, and the 2015 version did not have a separate 'LOA'. 

Has anyone informed Heritage of these?

Small correction- the March 15 auction version of this drawing did have a COA according to the item description, but is was not shown in the March 15 auction illustration.

Here's a compilation showing both auction's drawings and signatures side by side, and including the COA shown by Heritage auctions.  The Heritage COA is a good match with the March 15 signature, and clearly both drawings (March 15 and Nov 19) and the Nov 19 COA are by the same forger. 

Some sale prices here:

 Heritage 117016

Michael Jackson Hand Drawn and Signed Sketch in a Framed Display. A self-portrait (albeit with an exaggerated nose) sketch rendered in black ballpoint ink, autographed by Jackson in black felt-tip. The sketch measures approximately 7.5" x 10.5" (sight), displayed with a descriptive placard in an attractive matted and framed display measuring an overall 15.5" x 21". In Fine condition, with the paper showing vertical and horizontal folds, with some fading to the signature. RS

 Interestingly, this 'long nose' sketch was only recently offered by GWS auctions (on LiveAuctioneers)  in October 2018. (p120 of this thread).  I don't know if offered by the same or another consignor...    This is what GWS said : 

''The drawing has been examined and authenticated by Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators, and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity with a matching tamper-evident sticker on the document itself, along with a thorough, multi-page analysis of the document. Measurements: 20.75" x 15.5".

 The riding hat is ex Fossas:
