HOPE may be a little overated.

According to animalnewyork, Russel Simons (the mogul) has some type of "Art for Life" auction going on. Amongst other pieces he is selling a recreation of Shepard Farley's Obama HOPE work. 

The current bidding price is $108,000.

Now, you know Im down with Shepard Farley. And you know Im down with Obama. But if that is how much hope costs...Im all about dispair with a side of pessimism sprinkled with desperation. Please and thank you. 

In other Shepard news, these are tacky. When support goes too far.
