Who created the painter? He's not even inside the painting. He's outside it meaning the Painter exists independently of the painting just as God exists independent of creation and He always existed as His Own Entity outside of creation just like the painter exists as an entity outside the painting.
If your god can JUST exist without a creator then the universe can JUST exist without a creator. You have yet to give any reason for why it's plausible for a universe creating being to JUST exist and why universes themselves cannot JUST exist. Until you can make some logical argument to support your position than all you have is empty claims. I could make a similar claim that the universe was created but substitute your god with leprechauns for example. They needed somewhere to keep their gold you see, makes complete logical sense.
