    Not really...Mortler...Hoffler...Norther...hard to say...you may never know for sure. I believe it is outsider art as April suggested.

    Before reading the back I was going to suggest the title Portrait of the Artist as a Young Vampire. Art or therapy?

    Sounds like he was a tortured individual; may have been a cry for help before ending his own life... weird and a bit creepy!

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Name looks like Northen or Norther to me. But I don't think it matters much in this case. If you're selling it, I think you'll find an audience. At first I thought, "perfect for atmosphere during Halloween season." But also, the stereotype of the tormented or tortured artist works, for sure.

    Not that I’m well-off at the moment, but let me know what you would ask + shipping? Probably can’t afford (and it’s definitely worth a lot), but doesn’t hurt {much} to ask!

    2k is a bit high for a starting point if you ask me...but who knows. Also offers to buy or sell between board members should be done via private message.
