Does anyone recognise this artwork? I came across the artist on eBay Australia sometime between 2000–2009. She sold original whimsical, slightly gothic illustrations, and I absolutely loved her work.
I was broke at the time, so I printed this image and framed it. 😂
I’ve been trying to find her again for years with absolutely no luck! Any leads would be greatly appreciated! ❤️

Unsolved Help me find a picture or juror's shoes

• Upvotes

*Sent here because r/HelpMeFind denied because I'm looking for a picture*

I have a faint recollection of a painting or picture of a row of shoes that is said to belong to jurors. I feel like I was taught about it because it was a statement about the anonimity alloted to jurors during cases and how the court sketcher can't depict them. Google has been no help, I feel like it's real

Unsolved Looking for a female artist who stopped drawing police as pigs because she felt it was unfair to pigs

• Upvotes

I'm trying to identify a female artist/cartoonist whose work focused heavily on police brutality.

The most distinctive detail I remember: she used to portray police officers as pigs, but deliberately stopped because she felt pigs were lovable creatures who didn't deserve to be used as an insult. She explained this decision in an interview. Afterwards, she depicted police as brutish, bulky human figures instead.

Other things I remember:

  • She produced many drawings about police violence and worked for newspapers.
  • Her work was predominantly black and white, with bold shapes that sometimes looked like stencils.
  • I encountered her work on Twitter, probably around 2018-2021. I believe the discussion was in English.
  • She may have been from Latin America, but I'm very uncertain about that detail.

The explanation above is a paraphrase, not an exact quote. Unfortunately, I don't have an image or a link anymore.

Does anyone recognize the artist or remember that interview?

Unsolved It's a 5x8" photo of some sort of painting, I believe. Found in a thrift store in Arizona. Could have come from Arizona, Utah or New Mexico because that's where the donations are from. I'm assuming the block letters lower left is the artist name. LAVN or LAVIN (could be a dot above the VN).

No watermark on the paper. Glossy on the front, plain on the back. AI thinks it's a photo portfolio proof of a mid-century etching, woodcut, charcoal sketch or mixed media. No google image match. The thrift store has a religious connection, if that's of any consequence.

I recently picked this Binaca advertisement up at a thrift store in the Seattle area. It was professionally framed.

I'm trying to determine authenticity on it. It seems like there's a chance it's an original, but want to be sure. Measurements are 39x55" (100x140cm), which my research shows is the correct large format Italian advertisement size.

It also appears to be backed, with just the slightest edge visible (see photo.) The back is fully plain. I've done my best to show the printing up close.

Appreciate any insight!

Hi everyone! I recently picked up this interesting piece of artwork at a thrift store for $15, and I'm hoping someone here might recognize the artist.
The signature appears to read "Viking." The artwork measures approximately 22 x 18 inches framed and appears to be mixed media on board, with layered textures, visible brushwork, and possibly a clear protective coating.
It has a wonderful mid-century modern feel, but I've had very little luck finding information about the artist.
Does anyone recognize the signature or know anything about the artist, the approximate age, or whether this might be an original? I'd really appreciate any insight. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I found this painting while thrifting in NYC.

  • Dimensions: 12" x 8.75" (it was mounted and professionally framed)
  • Medium: Looks like oil paint and graphite on paper, with a slightly raised box image in the lower center
  • Note: Google Image Search suggested Zsolt Berszan, but the signature on the back of his other works looks very different.

Does anyone know who the artist might be? Thanks!

Looking to identify this painting. I recently inherited it, and prior to inheriting it, it is believed to have come from a relatives ex-boyfriend's parents.

While I did not take a picture of the back, the frame seemed to say it was made in Mexico, but there was no visible artist name or information, just part of the canvas that seemed to be bent around the frame to staple it.

I don't know where it came from, and the other side of it is just the same picture. Obviously, it's a colored sketch of a cat wearing a cape flying over a city. It's been in my family likely since before I was born (1988) and I would like to know more about it and the artist. I can't really read the name that well (BK something?).
