This is a one of a kind, authentic original and Copyrighted! Provenance I commissioned this piece in 1991 from Jim Tweedy personally, via the gallery displaying his pieces. I have personally displayed this piece very proudly. I have a bonus magazine, signed by Jim of a prominent sports magazine in the New Orleans area featuring one of his pieces on the front cover, included in this aution. I had this one commissioned because there was a Charlie Parker in the Gallery and by the time I thought about it and went back to get it, it was gone! Jim Tweedy is very good. His pieces are highly sought after  and hard to come by. The Gallery that features his work says his original's are gone the same day they come in. He sells alot of prints and lithos just to keep up with the demand.   Artist notes on the back of artwork: (see picture of the back signature and self portrait) Artist Facts: If you google Jim Tweedy he is very well documented and too extensive to list here. His work is expensive, well known and very popular. This piece is one of his very early pieces and in a different style than what most of his pieces are. email me if you want a list of websites mentioning his work, life, value of pieces, galleries etc.    Check out my other items as I add vintage/ antique items from time to time. - Including other paintings coming up: Sterling Silver service pieces with hallmark, Authentic High end designer clothing, and a few electronics such as an ipod My Item's come from a pet / smoke free home As you can see by my feedback (100%) I value your business and care about my ebay reputation, therefore I feel I have stated everything here as honestly as I could.
