The sketch is well drawn so you can't assume that it was a mistake that one eye of the child is rolled upwards and inwards while the other eye is pretty much starting straight ahead. This is a death face. The mouth is open after death with suffocation victims because it's a motor function for the person or animal to try to draw in as much oxygen as it can.
"Amanda Kleinman" is a pseudonym and not the "artist's" real name. It's also the pseudonym used by Majestic Ape, the singer/talker of the band Heavy Breathing.
The title of the work is "Very Special Baggies" and it refers to the model of bag used. It is "special" because it has a sliding zip lock that can cinch against the back of the child's neck making the bag airtight. "Airtight" is also the name of a Heavy Breathing album.
My theory is that this piece came before the conception of the "Quart Bag" art exhibit and the exhibit was created for the purpose of allowing this psycho trophy to be presented and seen at an art exhibit for the amusement of the psychopath. Having the piece hanging alongside other art works in baggies takes the shock away and you might not even give the baggie much thought when viewing the piece. They also used a tactic of puitting it right next to a juvenile piece of eye poison called "parts of a whole" that would instantly disgust you and you can't feel disgust for two things at once. The tactic helps normalize the less flashy piece that hangs next to it.
Obviously the psycho would have to be well connected in the art scene to pull this off. It's a certainty that he would be at the exhibit watching people looking at his trophy.
These works were supposed to sell for one hundred dollars or less after the exhibit but for certain the psycho bought his trophy back. There is probably a list of who purchased which work for tax purposes. He wasn't gonna let his trophy with possible DNA evidence on it get sold for a hundred bucks..
I have a suspect in mind but it's a serious charge and I'll need proof before I publicly make the charge. The person will have come up with the entire concept for this "Quart Bag" art exhibit if my theory holds.

I don't see any evidence in any of that proving that the Amanda Kleinman of Majestic Ape and Very Special Baggies is not a pseudonym that someone or multiple people are using.
I'm not sure why you think a blog or page that calls itself Amanda Kleinman is proof of her existence. There are 100 million pseudonym blogs and pages out there. The person doesn't suddenly become real if you make a pseudonym page.
That doesn't mean there aren't real Amanda Kleinmans out there. I'm sure there are thousands.

There are lots of Amanda Kleinmans. The one used by Heavy Breathing and the art work in question is a pseudonym. Highly unlikely that it's a Jewish person using her name as the pseudonym. No Jews on my suspect list yet. More than a few Greeks though for some reason.
