Some Thieving Bastard

  Opened a blues bar in my home town of Cape Girardeau, back in 2006 (ish). Blues On Broadway. it seemed like a good chance to get some exposure for my artwork. I hung ten blues themed paintings in there, looking for exposure and maybe a sale or two. After a few months the owner packed up in the middle of the night and stole everything that wasn't nailed down. Even some things that were. Light fixtures. Doors. Coolers. My artwork. My beautiful artwork. I haven't seen them since. I have no idea where they are. If they'd even remember me. Perhaps suffering from some terrible Stockholm Syndrome, thinking they are even paintings anymore. It's too sad for me to think about. These are the ones that were taken:

   I think these were all. There might have been two more, but my record keeping has become sloppy. I did report the theft to the Cape Girardeau police department. The officer taking my statement basically said it was my fault. I also called the Paducah police department. I very nice investigator took my statement and worked very hard to track the POS down, or at least find my paintings. She hasn't had any luck so far, but we are now married.  

  If you ever see any of these out anywhere, or any music themed paintings that look like this, please contact me. I'd just like to know they're alright. I wouldn't hurt to learn that the guy that took them has suffered unimaginable things, but I feel he'll get his in the end (perhaps even literally).
