That looks like a fake by Erick.  I wonder where this was being sold / displayed?   I don't recall seeing this one before.  (There are hundreds....)

There is a thread here:https://live.autographmagazine.com/forum/topics/lot-of-michael-jack...

For completeness of the historical thread, I'd like to add this drawing, if that is OK by you?

 Here are some comparison drawings from the above-mentioned 'Erick' thread. 

Erick appeared to start off with a personal Deviant Art page, and then began signing some of his works as 'MJ', and selling them to fans.  He has several invented stories about how he 'obtained' these signed works, eg via a relative who worked at Neverland, or via people who knew MJ from Sony.  

His forgeries have been sold widely on ebay, facebook and other internet sales sites,  encompassing the USA, South America, Europe and elsewhere.

Thnx for the info Lizzie.

I was about to post this item and ask for opinions. Thnx Melvin for taking the time to do this. I've seen it on offer a few times now.

It's being sold in the Netherlands and comes with a rare and signed COA. 

Enjoy your weekend everybody!

Thank you Lucas! 

Interesting that this is being sold in the Netherlands - Erick seemed to have an ebay 'sales agent' in Germany a few years ago. I wonder if this originated with him.

Have to agree, looks like an Erick McKay forgery imo

 In addition to the recognisable 'Erick' signature, this drawing is a 'close cousin' to a 'rib man' drawing which was among the collection 'psychoanalysed' by Radar Online a few years ago. 

(Note the out-turned feet and yellow 'buttoned' shoes... and the similar colour palette)
