    A friend picked up a watercolor the other day and we're trying to figure out the signature. I figure since you lot have nothing better to do than go about spilling coffee and such (for shame) you might have time to take a look at it[^]. There. Now I can get on with things. ktnxbye... :)

    That bit at the end looks like ioc - 'inversion of control'. I've had enough of dependency injection for one week, or forever for that matter, so I think its time to start the weekend... ;)

      That is clearly written in Ancient Alien, the painter must be one of those reptile-overlord-illuminati.

        It's not a signature it says "Pomegranate Juice", it's a stain.

            It's obviously someone who has no control over his paintbrush.

              No idea. This might help: http://www.signaturefinder.com/[^] Alternatively, take it to "Antiques Roadshow", "Flog it", or even just to an auctioneers. If it's anyone significant, they should know.

                Somewhere a painter is laughing his ass off thinking of how people are falling for his practical joke of the unreadable signature :D But then again, many signatures are!

                      The signature kinda looks like it could be the american artist Thomas Adrian Fransioli 1906-1997, although he primarily did oils.

                            I wonder if the artist realised that a water colour does not mean you pour water on the finished product.
