UPDATE 2:

In an amazing turn of events, the painting was returned with an apology.

Gothamist wrote a story about it: [link]

Pee-Wee Herman tweeted about it: [link]
Twice! [link]

Then just a few hours later, 2 young women returned the painting.

Thank you everyone for your support and helping to get the word out!

UPDATE:

The original painting has been stolen, right off the wall of my art show in Brooklyn, NYC.

Im in shock. It wasn’t for sale I never wanted money. I made it for me & turned down many offers.

Wow I juse read all the captioning on this piece. So glad you got it back!!! My heart fell through my chest when I heard some art pieces had been stolen from Beetlehouse LA after having my artwork selected to be on display there. Thank god my piece was not one of them but I felt aweful for the people's whose work was taken.
