<p>The amazingly botched restoration of the famous "Ecce Homo" painting, done by a Spanish amateur painter who turned a 19th century portrait of Jesus into that of a ghost monkey, took the Internet by storm this year, quickly becoming what is arguably the best <a href="http://gawker.com/5966698">meme</a> of 2012.</p>
<p>Now, Cecelia Giminez, the painting's infamous restorer, has waded back into the art world with some original work. The Daily Dot <a href="http://www.dailydot.com/news/ecce-homo-fresco-painter-ebay/">reports</a> that she's <a href="http://www.ebay.es/itm/CUADRO-DE-Cecilia-Gimenez-Restaurado-del-Ecce-Homo-/261141247968?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&amp;hash=item3ccd3b37e0%C2%A3ht_886wt_1156#ht_914wt_1068">selling</a> at least one piece, called "The Bodegas de Borja," on eBay. Add <em>that</em> to your holiday gift guides.</p>
<p><!--more-->The 45 x 34 inch painting depicts some old houses on a cobblestone street against a bright blue sky. It's very nice-looking and does not include any creepy blurred faces, which is a refreshing departure from Ms. Giminez's prior work, completed during her "Whooops!" period.</p>
<p>For just 630 Euros (or about $820) the painting can be yours, but if you're hoping to give it to a particular meme-lover for the holidays, better get to <a href="http://www.ebay.es/itm/CUADRO-DE-Cecilia-Gimenez-Restaurado-del-Ecce-Homo-/261141247968?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&amp;hash=item3ccd3b37e0%C2%A3ht_886wt_1156#ht_858wt_1330">bidding</a>. 31 people have already placed hopeful bids for the piece.</p>
