All the titles are confirmed by signature.
   
"The 'A' in the signature was an attempt
by a very young artist to possibly sound,
to appear older, perhaps even artistically
competent and hopefully bathing in
the reflected talents of those more
sophisticated artists of the time.
Did that 'A' work for me?
The simple answer is that it is
my middle name 'Arthur'
One of my early artist hero's whose work
appeared in all the magazines of the
40's and 50's was *Petts and he signed
his name K J PETTS. This was my
influence, you can see why I did much
the same with my signature.
Those early signatures of mine were
not at all sophisticated, my present
signing is, hopefully more so"
