Get him to authenticate it.Would probably increase the value.Did you ask what he called it?

He basically did authentic it here is email just took out a couple things



Thanks for sharing that with me. I'm guessing I did that drawing around 1984--I'm guessing. I was doing a lot of pen & ink illustration back then. I think the signature faded out as I didn't use india ink on that--probably ball point ink. Glad you're enjoying that drawing.

There's a range of other art on my website.
Thanks for your email
