Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Element, I've noticed from your profile that you've answered a lot of questions and asked a few about the Portland, Oregon area!. Because you're from that area or have lived in the area you should already KNOW that the artist Yzaal is a hoax, the concept of two local morning DJs in Portland!.

It's hard to imagine that you don't already know this, so I have to assume you're (1) in on the hoax, (2) trying to make money yourself by trying to jack up the prices, (3) you're one of the two DJs, trying to spread the hoax through public message outlets like Yahoo Answers or (4) by some fantastic cosmic coincidence you happen to run across the faux paintings by accident on EBay among the thousands of paintings there and you've never heard of the radio station prank in your area!.

Care to explain!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

This is a radio station spoof from the Portland, OR area 105!.1!. The morning djs (Nelson and Terry - the listed sellers) thought it would be funny to put some blobs of paint on a canvas and pass it off as real art and see how much they could get on ebay for it!. They choose the name Yzaal because it is lazy (with an extra a) spelled backwards!. They plan to donate whatever money they get to charity!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hi: I just did an internet search to help you but couldn`t find any artist by that name !. !. !.so sorry, couldn`t see his/ her work!. One of my favorite artists that I have found recently is Keith Salmon (http://www!.keithsalmon!.org) - check out his stuff - not minimalist at all but mountain landscapes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think he is originally from the middle east!. He has some great pieces!. If you think his abstract paintings are good, you should check out his sculptures, so simplistic yet very profound!. All his art is!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
