An image of the singer after his recent arrest is featured in a piece at the local Romany Kramoris Gallery , and we’re told there have been nonstop lines and pedestrians snapping photos of the work.

Artist Godfrey Lohman made the limited edition piece, and when he brought them to the gallery, “My reaction was, ‘Oh my God!’ That’s great! It’s just great!” owner Romany Kramoris, told Page Six.
Kramoris is fondly known around town as the “Queen of Sag Harbor” after operating her gallery for 44 years.
The gallery’s Leslie Raff quipped, “[Timberlake’s recent mugshot] is our most contemporary piece! It’s au courant.”

At $520, the gallery has sold “two or three” of the works so far, and, “a lot of people are coming back,” Kramoris said.
The gallery plans to carry the pieces throughout the summer. “The green one is not my favorite. He looks a little sickly, too many martinis on the green one,” Kramoris said.
A bartender at the American Hotel, two doors down from Kramoris’ gallery, said the singer had only one martini at the bar there before his arrest. “If he was drinking more, it wasn’t here,” an employee at the hotel told People magazine.

“He didn’t recognize him or his name,” an insider told Page Six after the arrest.

Some Sag Harbor locals aren’t fans of the Timberlake-inspired art.
Kramoris told us, “Some [in the community] raised their eyebrows, and say, ‘Oh, you’ve got that,’ when they see the image in the gallery.”
But, “Others are so excited, the young ones especially… it’s happy! I certainly appreciate it in my store. The fact that I have the picture is happy. The incident wasn’t so much,” she said.

The Warhol-esque piece is titled “Tuesday Night Out featuring Justin Timberlake,” (which is technically inaccurate since the arrest occurred early Tuesday morning). But, artistic license and all!
