You are bidding on an original, artist signed spray painting of Abe Lincoln holding a sign by street artist Blight. Painting is titled "Question for George Zimmerman". Signature is on the back. Painting measures 20" tall and 16" wide and is on stretched canvas. This painting will make a terrific conversation piece. Remember that this is an original painting, NOT a print or one of those cheap prints on canvas that you see at super stores. The artist created this piece with his own hands.
About the artist: Blight is an active street artist in the United States and has made a habit of leaving paintings on canvas for others to find. His pieces have sold for hundreds of dollars, and the value of his work is growing at an alarming rate. The artist has paintings on at least 4 continents, 12 countries, and 25 states. Blight has degrees in art and psychology, and uses a variety of mediums to create amusing pieces such as this one, and to convey political ideas and address social issues.
COA included with owner tracking. In addition, I am Blight's manager, and authenticity will be confirmed for any buyers who wish to sell one of these paintings in the future.

I saw that George Zimmerman is now an artist and his first work is for sale, I decided to make my own drawing as a reminder for him.
Link to thread on Zimmy's "art", in case you missed what this is about.

I was able to pick up the properties on the thumbnails after searching for "Zimmerman" in paintings.
Hard to see, but the third one reads "Don't forget Trayvon...Reminder for all"
people like me who signed up with a fake account to mess with him. Unfortunately the bidding is now so high you need a credit card number or paypal account just to bid. 
Best idea I've seen yet.
