Arnett also created a psychedelic black light mural for the bar The Stud. Arnett died on March 2, 1988 from AIDS. The San Francisco South of Market Leather History Alley consists of four works of art along Ringold Alley honoring leather culture; it opened in 2017. One of the works of art is a black granite stone etched with a narrative by Gayle Rubin and a reproduction of Arnett's Tool Box mural. Another of the works of art is bronze bootprints along the curb which honor 28 people (including Arnett) who were an important part of the leather communities of San Francisco.
