I was recently asked who was my favorite artist, and I replied John Kier. I had a moment to look him up today. I used to read Newsday as a young girl growing up, and loved his art, and the way he signed his name, with the i under the top angled part of the K. I started signing mine that way too, as my name starts with a K. My sympathy goes out to your family.
