In conjuntion with the Democratic National Convention, MoveOn.org held “Manifest Hope,” a Barack Obama-inspired art contest, and is now auctioning the proceeds to charities aimed at social change.  The winning piece from the contest, by New Orleans artist Phil Fung, is for sale on ebay for $1525.00 and counting….check it out!

Another, larger piece is on sale for $3,050 here- very nice.  Both auctions have almost 5 days left, and if I had to predict, both will crack $10k.  Anyone else care to take a guess?
