Upper autograph seems fake. Illus by "所羅門 (3 letters)", but autograph was written by "石家 (2 letters)"

I think that says "To 家" (first word in English).

Beat me to it. Did wonder if it was meant as a dedication to a family member?

From what I can find, it looks as if his signature differs slightly depending on the language he's using when signing? Signatures do differ when signing one's name in Han Chinese characters rather than Latin alphabet.

I'm not a handwriting expert, but it does seem closer to the signature he uses on sketches on his personal website.

Sketch with his signature on an English language site:

Sketches with his signature on his personal website(Chinese):

Could a member more proficient in Chinese verify this? Mine is rusty. :-k

Top 2 words are to someone (most likely part of someone's name). The signature is below those 2 characters.

I was in contact with the artist, but he gave me the wrong address and my cards came back months and months later unsigned. AFAIK he's working for the Three Kingdoms/Sanguzhi/Sangokushi card game.

"To Jia/Uchi" - Probably means "to family". Though I dunno.
To be honest the bottom signature *might* be real. It looks like his name written in the usual "Chinese scribble". There's no way to know because his signature isn't really seen elsewhere.

For reference, his English name is Solomon Au Yeung.
