Welcome back to Munch's The Scream (http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060831/ts_nm/crime_art_scream_dc)

One of the most reproduced paintings, like Mona Lisa, I wonder if anyone has done a bastardization of the Mona Lisa in the form of the Scream?

Two years and change sounds like just about the right amount of time to commission a quality forgery, properly age it, and put together the PR campaign for its recovery.

For all that 99.9999% of the people who look at it would care (if they weren't told) they could just hang a print from the museum gift shop and keep the valuable original in a safe.

I had no clue that the picture off my kids art supply box had been stolen...I wonder when I'll get it back? :rolleyes: :D

just kidding...well about getting it back, not about "the scream" being the artwork on their art supply box

I just can't believe it took two years to recover it. You'd think that something so...unique...would be easy to spot! ;)

I'm just impressed that our rabbit was able to paint ANYTHING, let alone a stolen masterpiece.

How come there's no video of Munchykins painting? Are you going to have to bunny proof the new digs?

We will hopefully move in with it in bunny-proof condition. It'll be nice to be able to start from scratch instead of trying to protect a decidedly non bunny-proof existing setup.

He will be caged, unfortunately for him. We've already had to start caging him now when we're asleep/out because he has thwarted all attempts to keep him on the approved side of the apartment. We built a nice big cage, but he's not particularly pleased with the new arrangement. But it's his own fault.

Well, he will adapt, spoiled rotten bunny, I think! ;)
Can't wait to meet him sometime not to mention to see you two and say howdy
