Topic: Assistance Please with Signature ID

[Bill Vitez]

All, I need assistance once more in identifying a signature. This time it is on a very nice heavy perfume bottle that sits approximately 5 inches (12.5 cm) tall with its stopper and ~3 inches (8 cm) at its wide at its widest point. There seems to be a thick clear glass overlay (which does not photograph well) on yellow glass swirls and the top an bottom glass seems to be indigo in color when backlit. It is very attractive in person. This is a new find and the vendor could not tell me anything and I was able to purchase it for $60 USD. In the signature, I can make out the date as "77" but cannot decipher the artist's name which seems to be all in lower case script and possibly reads "young" but I cannot find an artist with the surname Young with similar work in the 1970's.
As always, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Brent Kee Young, may be worth looking into. The date could also possibly fit with some of his early work.

Just to add a couple of links, with some further info:

Greg,
Thanks for the links. The technique used on the perfume bottle seems to be very similar but more advanced than what was used on mine. I'd say it is a Brent Kee Young.
