I could use some help identifying/authenticating this piece.

First let me apologize for starting a new thread - I don't know your hobby at all, and didn't want to hi-jack someone else's thread. But I assure you that this isn't spam.

Ok, so here's the story:

I collect bad amateur art. Today I looked up at one of my favorite pieces and for the first time thought "I should Google this Alex Nuckols guy", and so I ended up here.

Here's the info on the piece: It's oil on canvas, roughly 19x13. It's titled "Safety Is In The Lord" and depicts a trucker on a narrow mountain road being guided by Jesus. The truck has multiple license plates with bible passages for license numbers. It is signed "Alex Nuckols '73" It was found a few years ago in a small shop in Sacramento, CA

It's really quite bad, so I presume that IF it's the same Alex Nuckols, it's an early piece.

Anyone have any Nuckols bio information, or a sampling of his work so I can search for comparable features? A good pic of his signature would be VERY helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks for giving it a shot here. He did a bunch of illustrations for St Regis Press products officially licensed by TSR, makers of the Dungeons and Dragons.

Here is an extensive page of those products with many of Alex's images as cover illustrations....

An example of full signature....

Look here for what I think is an ink drawing attributed to him, with initials as signature....
