    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... :)

    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!

        {
        throw new NotSupportedException();
        }
        }

            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.
