The Foundation is not authenticating this type of piece right now, similiar to his subway drawings. They claim that Keith never meant this type of gift piece as fine art. Therefore we do not have an authentication certificate, but the winner will be given the letter that came back with the submission. It is important that they did not deauthenticate this piece, only say that it is outside the critiria what they will authenticate.
This is a rare book with Keith's eye exactly placing his sign and baby so it looks like he is painting it in the picture. This is an example of what keith did to many photo's when he embellished them with his art. A really 'radiant' piece, with many other rare color photos of his Martin Lawrence show.
