You could try out your luck over at reddit.
They live for this kind of stuff.

Try /r/askreddit.
If they can't find it, your painting is a lie.

Just because I was too lazy to google myself, doesn't mean you should steal my thunder, sir. ;)

I tried using Google Goggles on my DroidX, but there were too many screen artifacts from taking a picture of the monitor to get an accurate picture. If you have an Android phone and can revisit the photo or can print it out in color and scan it in that way with Google Goggles you might have some luck there.

Take a highres image with a proper camera that is in focus and upload it somewhere.
