Somebody's out $501 for the "Barks."
ReplyDeleteWell, at least the first forger has some rudimentary inking ability.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what makes people with so little artistic discernment that they fall for these fakes interested in acquiring them in the first place?
Oh, wait - greed!

How can you see that the lastone is faked?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you post these, as it is very entertaining to see the drawings. Clearly I'm not an expert but isn't there still a shred of doubt that some of the drawings could actually be by Barks or Jippes on a bad day? I could see a situation where someone asks them to do a quick sketch and end up with a result that is not up to par with their usual style, especially given that Barks was active for a long time. The sketch with the traffic lights and the nephews is not that badly drawn in my opinion. Having said that, I know they're 99 percent sure to be fake, but one can't help wonder, for example why the signature in the last picture is not done with the same pen as the drawing, wouldn't you do that if you tried to fake something. Or maybe that's what they want you to think.. shrewd... well thanks anyway, it's always nice to see your posts here.
