Mark Ryden Michael Jackson painting (?)

[myosotis]

This original painting has just appeared on e-bay.
I think it is meant to be by the artist who painted the 'Dangerous' album cover? It is not a painting I have seen before (and not one I particularly like! -British understatement) :bugeyed
Has anyone come across this before?
Looking at examples of Ryden's work on 'Google images', this doesn't seem to fit very well with them, and does not seem very well painted.

It seems a very odd depiction to me.

It's Ryden's style and it's interesting but I don't like it at all.

well that was weird....

:busted: Why has he depicted Michael as a rat? What's that supposed to mean? Weird.

It's probably a reference to "Ben". This seems like a poor copy of a Ryden to me.

I agree. But the picture has disapppeared...so OOOps, perhaps it was genuine after all. Apologies if so.

If I was Michael looking at that picture, I would feel insulted............

 

[Mirabella76]

Mike as rat king and LMP as burning heart. What a mess...
