<p>[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9731164, member: 84"]Today at my friend's thrift store these 6 large cardboard art folders(?) full of paintings & prints came in off the truck & I looked through a couple of them (1 is full of Peruvian scenes by a Mendez) and started to pick out some (including the SECCA posters & the Jet(?) print/litho when my friend came into the back of the store where the unloading is done. I asked him how much for a stack I had made & he said "What about $125 for all of it; I can't sell these separate & they'd take up a lot of space?"</p><p>I looked at the art coming out of each large folder/file - and I said, "Yes of course!"</p><p>Now I don't know what to do with it all - it's a bit overwhelming! And 90% are paintings & pencil signed prints that I know are going to be hard to tell who the artists are - the only ones I could read so far are the ones printed on exhibition posters!</p><p>Any ideas? Maybe I can find an appraiser?</p><p>Finally, below are some posters that were in a plastic bag together - I like the Karl Wirsum, it's what first caught my eye.</p><p>I could use help with the artist's name on the jet like print - does anyone know who the artist is?</p><p>Thanks for any ideas on what to do (and help with the artist's name)!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]473810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473811[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473812[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473813[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]473814[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Any idea who artist is of piece below?

I could use help with the artist's name on the jet like print - does anyone know who the artist is? Thanks for any ideas on what to do (and help with the artist's name)!
