varaz is cool. the other one is cool, too, and looks like an artist that would show at art fairs. some travel the country doing different shows and make a good living—it’s a cool life. could possibly also be an advanced art student’s piece. when you do like you did and buy what you love, it’s always a great investment.

Thanks for your help! Would you say the Varaz is a reprint or an original?

That is an awesome find. Veraz Samuelian is the artist. Saroyan dedicated a novel to him. Got my Fresno Armenian heritage humming with this one!!

looks like some sort of original print. there are a bunch of different print techniques that look similar and I’m not that well-versed in identifying them through pics. I think @Ken P studied printing, and would have a better idea.

Greetings from Monterey CA, it’s pouring. Trying to get out of town before it gets serious with mudslides. Is this legit? [EDIT] Yes the $7 Cuci is real and I did see one car that slid off Highway One down an embankment in Fort Ord north of town on my way back. Landed in the ice plants, so hopefully no one was hurt.

FYI if something is fake naked and famous (not saying your piece is) the term one would use is Faked and Famous
