MICHAEL JACKSON
“BLACK OR WHITE”
ARTIST ORIGINAL PAINTING
( With An Unbelievable Story Behind It! )

This is a Beautiful Black and White ORIGINAL Charcoal Painting that was intended for Michael himself. My friend Debbie who is an Artist (now living in Europe) was also a fan of our beloved Michael and ended up moving before she could add the proper frame she wanted to . . . So she gave it to me. This was while we both were in Hawaii (January 1989). She was so good at what she did, one painting led to a strong line of vendors that ended up becoming her profession.
Here Is The Strange Part of The Story
Debbie, being very simple (but quick and effective) in her artistic thinking, dubbed this painting “BLACK OR WHITE” (her signature with date, as all good artists do, is etched into the painting). Nothing strange yet? Well, in January 1989 when she gave me the painting, Michael was still wrapping up his “Bad” Tour. The song “Black Or White” nor the album “Dangerous” (which contains the song) DID NOT EVEN EXIST YET. What does this mean? I don’t really know. All I know is that if it does have a meaning, I was included. To me, now knowing what I do, it’s definitely a gift from God. Given the events that have taken place recently, I just thought it might be time to sell it to someone who can enjoy it and display it properly (versus keep it in storage like I’ve been doing).

Notes:
1. Painting has a few “waves” in it’s surface because of initial roll-up process but will flatten upon PROPER framing.
2. Very tiny upper right part of corner of painting surface is gone but is not visible when framed against white backdrop like in this photo.
3. The frame in this photo is not included in the price (because it needs re-doing, but, I will include it and will even try to refinish it if you like). Just keep it mind that the main selling object here is the painting itself.
