    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 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!

                  Ah, the famous Cherokee painter Tovitanwuliuu, which means 'he with broken fingers'.

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

                        I, for one, welcome our new alien overlords. They are good at art apparently!

                        - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

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