So, I sat down last night, spent about an hour making my very first proper peice of art on scratch. And i liked it, so i shared it, I came on today to learn that it has been completely wiped. Gone. Its now just a blank background. Yet the icon on my profile still shows the art. Plz scratch team, your my only hope.

Please help me.

Let me check…

Your art is still there. Here's proof: http://scratch.mit.edu/internalapi/project/11549224/get

If the .json file had no code, then your project would be gone. But it's not.
