[QUOTE="Jivvy, post: 406664, member: 8184"]Graphics Monkeys don't necessarily get their name printed anywhere. "Work for hire" means employee gets their regular paycheck and that's all the recognition they need. :D Who knows what that sig is... what this piece is... it was done the year before the museum opened, so maybe this was originally made as the background for an advertisement of some sort -- or a series of ads. It would totally explain how everything is crowded at the bottom -- put text on the top. I do suspect that, as mentioned earlier, the signature is part of the print ... but jpg artifacts may explain the "dotted" look of the sig. It could have been signed by the Graphics Monkey for a limited run just made up for employees. Or signs for inside the museum. Or David M could be a world renown artist whose sig is just too sloppy to make out. :hilarious: I dunno. It's so recent, I think it should be findable, but I've had zero luck with that.[/QUOTE]
