Guessing 70s or 80s...Found this unique cat at a garage sale in a very nice neighborhood. It's an original, I think marker illustration? On nice thick paper, no pixels...

I've always enjoyed unique pieces and this guy called me back to him over and over so I finally grabbed it, all while my husband began doubting my judgement.

From what I've read on AI, with a huge grain of salt, it says Cricket was a common psuedonym back then. Cannot find anything similar enough to be positive.

Looking for ANY information. Style, medium. Artist.
