Need Help with Art Identification

[destroyer24]

I have a few pieces of art that I am having issues with identification. Either they are not well known artists, or I just can't read the writing properly. Please have a look, and let me know what everyone thinks.

The Snyder mushrooms one looks to be an Artist's Proof (AP)?

Cat one is an AP also.

Unless it's a trick of the photos

you have a lot of brown water spots

and other damage issues which can greatly affect value.

Also, as an arts student of that era, well meaning parents and instructors really went in for that AP thing. It can have valid uses and also a gimmicky (almost- like you could put A/P on your first garbage print and it would make everyone feel important). I have some embarrassing A/P etchings that will only become known at my estate sale. There should have been a law...
