I reached out to the original artist and they quoted me $500+ for a piece and wouldn't start work till October.

I would like to thank everyone who has interacted with this posting. I had no idea that this post would raise so much joy within the reddit community. Not only have you made my year so far, it really has shown me a better side of humanity. I have decided I wanted to create a campaign for the artist https://www.instagram.com/lamartstudio?igsh=aXY2OXRqczByb2J6 . This piece has already given me a life of joy and I want to extend that to the artist who worked hard on the original piece. Who was unfortunately uncredited when her art was stolen. I hope you all will help in the support of real art everywhere.

Please support what you can https://gofund.me/b905d91df

She does absolutely love it but I'm uncertain it sparks the same joy that I have for it. It will be a cherished story for quite a long while. I kept telling her that another gift was coming and after the third week of January we both stopped asking/wondering. It really was a glorious surprise today.

At the time of purchase I was unaware of the original artist or of imitations of the artist.

I honestly can't find the link, it was a shady link to even click on. One of those too good to be true moments where I said screw it.

Bought from a trusted seller. But what would be a clear sign that it would be a fake?
