We've all seen images of those famous paintings but there is absolutely nothing like seeing the originals.

THE FORGER
It was 2am. Ned sat in
front of his favourite painting to eat his sandwiches.
He stared at the
painting.
He wasn't a bad artist
himself: just never had the breaks. Instead he made a few extra
dollars from painting peoples' pets.
But that didn't scratch
his itch.
Every night Ned ate his
sandwiches and sketched the painting. He used the sketches to paint
his own copy to display in his dingy apartment.
The copy was flawless.
On his last night on
the job, Ned made the swap.
Nothing like a
security guard to know how to beat the system.
