Michael Hunt Signature Appraisal

Ducks Unlimited Cat Island Project Print signed by Michael Hunt and Kevin Costner

This is a framed, multi-signed lithographic print titled 'Cat Island Project' by renowned wildlife artist Michael Hunt. The composition depicts a coastal ecosystem featuring a prominent Brown Pelican, a Reddish Egret, and a flock of Roseate Spoonbills in flight and nesting. This specific piece is a commemorative edition for Ducks Unlimited's 75th anniversary, as indicated by the official logo centered at the bottom margin. The artwork is printed on heavy archival paper with high-fidelity color reproduction. Notable are the two distinct, hand-applied signatures: artist Michael Hunt on the right and actor Kevin Costner on the left. Costner's involvement stems from his public support for the restoration of Cat Island, a critical bird nesting site in Louisiana. The print is professionally presented in a classic gold-toned ornate wooden frame with beaded detailing and a clean white mat. The condition appears excellent with no visible foxing, water damage, or fading of the signatures or pigments. The craftsmanship is professional-grade, typical of high-end conservation-focused benefit art released circa 2012. The dual-signature aspect, particularly the celebrity autograph of Costner alongside the artist, makes this a unique collector's item for both wildlife art enthusiasts and film memorabilia collectors.
