I am trying to identify an artist from a photo of a photo. Can anyone help?

Attached is a public picasa link to a picture of this picture, I would love to identify so I can order a print of it or find the artist.

Link is here

Might be Cindy Sherman.

Seconding Cindy Sherman, though I know of at least one regional (southeast US) artist who has done a very similar type of style as Sherman's work. Post back if looking up CS's catalogue leads to a dead end, and perhaps give some details where you saw the pic.

Thirding Cindy Sherman from the Film Stills series. I am 99% sure this is one of hers, I recall seeing it before.

Response by poster: weapons-grade, nikitanikita & ponderance:

1) i finally just got my domain back and my e-mail and back into this account. I am so sorry!

I have looked at some cindy sherman, but there is not the full collection online. I think I'm on the right track though.

The image is at a restaurant in Chicago, so now that I have a name I will check and report back.

7th months, inexcusable.. my sincere apologies!!
