George Colin Original Artwork. This was discovered in a storage locker in rural Illinois. The piece has a date of 4/19/1985 with a signature on the front as seen in the pictures as well as on the back also presented in the photos. This piece appears to have been neglected for a long time in storage and still has the pin hole marks from when the artist mounted it on the wall while creating it. George Colin used to work at a paper mill and regularly used the packaging for the paper that was discarded as his blank canvas. The artist is known for pastels and acrylic materials as his medium.
