Cats & Arts lovers to the rescue...

I bought tis graphic, because I liked it
I read Haral Duma as artist but there seems to be no such person.
Does anybody reckognise anything else?

 

I see "Harold" as the first name. Other than that, I've got nothing

 

LOL!! I'd have bought him in a nannosecond!

His name is Tony and he's a street cat my daughter adopted and then gave to me for a year!

My small, delicate cat objected strenuously, at least three times a day, every day. I think it's 'home court advantage,'

 

Tomcat body builder for a kitty cheesecake calendar.

 

Very neat pic. Mak. Never saw one like it. Great image of typical Tom Cat.

Perhaps we could unite and find a way to entice a handwriting expert (or graphologist in the UK) to become a very active member of Antiquers.com.
Certainly would be welcome here.
I believe the above last two digits are 30. Correct? Anything between that and Harold are scribbles to me.

 

Looks kind of like the original "Cheshire" cat in one of the original Alice in Wonderland books from long ago! Look at those eyes and that smile!!!!

 

Well, John Tenniel was the main and original illustrator, so he's out.....

Edit: but here's a link to all of the illustrators from the Alice's books.....

although, nothing caught my eye.....

 

As someone else said, it looks like the first name is Harold -

 

Harold Sawa___ something? Almost looks like 3d (for "the third") at the end of the name, but might also be more letters or something else.

 

How about that double loop that starts between the L and D in harold and swirls down and then back up and over a whtasit. Could that loop be an L?

 

For what it's worth, I see 'Harald' rather than 'Harold'...

Yeah - me too - I just type faster than my brain works some days.

 

Its Harold or Harald. Surname begins with S(initials Closeup).

 

Ummmmmmm... Harold James? Edwards? Gahhhh!
Top line... portrait something? Protzarctices? Gahhhhh!!!!!

 

Yes, I thought Harald seemed possible, too... but went with Harold. Now I think Harald. I just found that there are a lost of artists, past and present, with first name Harald. I've so far only found a couple of those with a last name beginning with the letter S. And neither of those appears to be the right one.

Oh, and I think the other writing on this is not in English. Nor sure which language it would be.

 

Names that do not appear to be the name above, and artistic style is different:

Harald Schmitz-Schmelzer (1953-current)

Harald Seiwert (1957- current)

Harald Siepermann (1962-2013), a cartoonist

Harald Smykla (contemporary, did not find date of birth)

Harald Sohlberg (1869-1935)

Harald Szeeman (is a curator, not sure if he is an artist)

And I'm sure there are more!

 

I think that first (top) word looks like italian"prozzastico) meaning "prose" in english and the word below looks like "with"

 

Looks like protz... something. Definitely a foreign language which means the name is probably not English. Some kind of Eastern European?

The spelling of Harald is Norwegian, but may be spelled that way by other nationalities.

 

My thought was Polish or Czech. Certainly not English.
