    found these two little prints yesterday, thought they looked odd & interesting

    both measure 8 inches

    Jan ? something, having no luck

    probably a long shot to find artist, but they were only cheap

    any thoughts appreciated

    They look like etchings rather than woodcuts.

    Last name might be Driscoll ? Id have bought em ! Of course,if I took all the art of my walls theyd likely collapse as they are so full of holes !

    I like them too. Don't know the artist but when I first saw the sig I read Zan as the first name. (I actually went to high school with a girl named Zan who is an art professor as it turns out but there is no way that's her last name.) My second thought was Ian. Just thought I'd throw those in the mix.

    Does St. Tony help you find missing things or is he the one who helps you sell your house? ;)

    Was I misled?
    Isn’t St. Anthony the Abbot depicted with swine?

    Certainly makes sense, thanks inh, I think they both have got a religious angle

    Toni has normally an Egyptian cross atop his stick. some show it even with two bells. I love the sly glance of that pig.

    the pig looks like he's thinking, god he's 'hamming' it up in the spotlight again:)
