Description

Hello, you are bidding on the following item from
"That One Item Store"
This is a California estate find, I'm not the
original owner.
This is an original Illustration Art, Ink/Oils on Some type of compressed Tile Board with Cork backing.
"WANTED:
DEAD OR ALIVE"
This is signed and dated by the
artist "Reames" 1985
The art is of a Mexican Bandit with bullet belts going over each shoulder and he is standing next to his wanted poster.
The piece is in is good to very good condition with with some minor paint chipping along the edges.
The art board this piece is painted on is 11" x 14" compressed tile board with 1/8" cork pad backing. The tile board is 1/2" thick.
The only thing I can say about this artist and this is just by what I saw at his estate, Mr. Reames was in the Air Force. Years of active duty I have no idea. He was enjoyed cigars by the amount of wood cigar boxes I found and I also bought (now being auctioned by me as well), he liked guns and he made his own bullets. He collected western paperback books and pirate books.  He also collected American Indian items and he was a novice art student.  I saw lots of his early sketch books and over time he got better. I have a pen & ink storyboard panel art piece with a Pirate Adventure scene that I believe Mr. Reames illustrated but I don't know for sure since he did not sign or date that piece, but I also auctioning off that art piece.  These are thing I saw in his home to give a little perspective of the man that did this painting.  I think it a neat piece and would be great for anyone that enjoys this style of art.
Please see my photos of the 1985 DEAD OR ALIVE Painting/Ink Art Piece

I will ship item within three days after I've received payment.
