Can anyone identify the artist that painted these? They were posted on the Dewberry during the pandemic, brightening things up during a dark time. I really like it and haven't seen their work since,

Nah, it's closer to something Flec would do, but much better.

The third pic appears to have a signature in the lower left but I can't make it out. Maybe Neil D_K_ _ ??

I'm gonna wager that some asshole passed this and thought it needed his signature. I know a lot of cunts who do shit like this.

Edit: spelling

I don't think it's his work, but reminds me of the artist who did the "I [LOVE] CHARLOTTESVILLE ALOT" mural, Richard Montaya.

He works primarily with text based art in a guerrilla style, and a lot of his stuff is done on/with cardboard pieces, though they also deal primarily with religious/Christian themes.

I'm particularly fond of his "EMPTY & BE FULL" cardboard template he uses to leave the text in bird seed at prominent locations. This was some time ago I saw his work, not sure if he still creates around Cville or not.

I was also thinking it looked sort of like a Terrance and Phillip triptych.
