Has anyone ever heard of an artist by the name of John Higar I have a painting by this artist and the title of the painting is Little Cheetah Any help would be appreciated Thanks?

John Higar, later known as Billyjohn Rainbow, was an artist during the 1970's in Indianapolis, Indiana. He often painted as the pre-show entertainment at the Black Curtain Dinner Theater. His painting style was unique--often using his hands or some strange tool. I never saw him paint a picture right side up. As he painted, it would be almost impossible to tell what he was painting until he finished. Just before the theater performance, he would turn his painting 180 degrees and then the picture was obvious. I once saw him paint on two canvasses at the same time. When finished, he turned both canvasses 90 degrees in opposite directions revealing a beautiful landscape. At intermission of the play, his painting would be auctioned to the audience. In 1975, my father took my husband and I to Black Curtain and he bought the painting and gave it to us. It is still one of my prized possessions.
