Re: unknown artist Illipoch/ Illi Poch
Poch is a Catalan surname, found both sides of the Pyrenees. There is a rare surname, Illi, on record in France but of unknown origin.

H. Illipoch seems to be the only person with that surname. Perhaps it was newly created, an English form of some foreign surname. The closest three syllable surname I came up with was Ilipek, but it is a rare variant of the Polish surname Filipek.Later, I found something very interesting. Illipoch perhaps maybe a variant of Lipoch, and I found 2 people with the last name Lipoch, from Facebook.
One of them was Lili Lipoch.Another theory is that perhaps the artist combined his/her first name with last name, from Lili Poch to Illipoch. Lili Poch I think is a females name, the first name "Lili" perhaps is shortened from Lilian, of Latin origin. The last name Poch is Spanish/Catalan. This means that Lili Poch could be from Spain, because of Latin first name and Spanish last name. I did find someone named Lili Poch.
