<p>[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 350956, member: 51"]Thoughts appreciated on this. I have four Nomoco watercolors (prints?) all different scenes. The set is sort of "library" or "children" based, they have a very light feel, fairly large format at 18 x 24".</p><p><br /></p><p>Just showing a close up of one here, Signed "Nomoco" 5/18. (So not a date. Others are signed 6/18, etc -- we aren't there yet in 2018, so thinking some kind of numbering system?)</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no shortage of info about Nomoco online (real name Kazuko Nomoto) She is a Japanese illustrator who has done many books, seems to have a following. Lots on Pinterest, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>NOTHING for sale I could find, anywhere. When found, these were in sort of temporary frames, plastic front and removable edges. Do you think a mock-up for some book illustration? Paper is a thick watercolor type paper, but almost feel that this is some kind of higher end copy of a watercolor, but could be wrong. </p><p><br /></p><p>I wrote her website but did not hear back.

Could always just list on Ebay and see what happens I guess -- would love to know what these were first though. Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]119031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119033[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119032[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]119037[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
