Featured Illustration art, signature help.

These are the only two photos I have at the moment. Having a tough time with the signature. Purchased in Centerville, MA. Framed behind glass in an aluminum frame, no labels or anything on the reverse. Sight area measures about 20”x30”. Assuming it’s an illustration with the empty spaces for whatever text it would have had. Maybe an anti-poaching poster.
Another photo with a corner of the frame.

 

Larry ..?

 

love that bang of the gun effect, yeah looks like your supposed to feel sympathy for the bear

back turned and thinking "hang on there mate, was just warming my paws by your camp fire "

i asked my nephew (8) do you know what your supposed to do if you come across a bear in the wild ?

.............." yeah........shoot it "

 

Mean Widdle Kid there

Fifty years' worth of wilderness hiking, I've got enough bear encounter stories
to fill this page...

"Larry Tyk"? Found an obit for one, but he doesn't seem to have been
an illustrator or an artist of any description...

 

so have i dude............oh you meant bears

 

Has the style of a kid's book or greeting card. IMHO def done by a pro. Dark subject matter like 'Bambi'-'The cuddly 600 pound grizzly' !

 

Lucy?

 

That’s what I saw when I first looked at it.
I’ve found a couple illustrators named Larry no match in the last name yet.

 

Lucy was my second try, no luck there either.

 

There’s a Larry Noble sculptor/illustrator and he signs Larry the same way but I can’t make the last name match.

There's some similarities with the siggie of Larry Spaid but his other works look nothing like.

 

my moneys on Lucy, especially if you shift your head further back

 

oh , that's close !!!

 

It does look like his signature. Why don't you ask him if it's his work?

Debora

 

it is quite convincingly close. Tried flippin it.......ithink what we all see as a y in first name might be the start of the first letter of second name ?
