The picture, which caused an online frenzy, has been turned into a ‘limited edition piece’ by artist Godfrey Lohman. Lohman introduced his artwork to the Romany Kramoris Gallery and received an enthusiastic reaction from the owner, who exclaimed, “Oh my God! That’s great! It’s just great!” The gallery is situated in Sag Harbor, the same place where the singer was arrested while returning from a party with friends before being arrested.

How much it costs?

Godfrey Lohman’s paintings, in various hues, have attracted a continuous stream of people keen to snap pictures. The gallery, affectionately known around town as the “Queen of Sag Harbor” due to its 44 years of operation, plans to showcase Timberlake’s mugshot pieces, which are reportedly priced at $520, throughout the summer.

“Timberlake’s mugshot is our most contemporary piece! It’s au courant,” an employee named Leslie Raff told Page Six.

“The green one is not my favorite. He looks a little sickly, too many martinis on the green one,” said Kramoris, who also claimed that they have already sold several pieces and many are coming back to get one. The owner also revealed that while some raised eyebrows over the art, many were excited, especially the young ones. Meanwhile, the SexyBack singer has returned to his The Forget Tomorrow world tour, headlining concerts at various stops according to his schedule.
