I don't like Shep, but I do really dig this print. Would gladly spend some money on this.

It's sad when an homage exceeds the original, but it's simply pathetic when multiple homages exceed an original.

Edit: Ok, I see that he's giving it away for free which makes my impression totally different. I was really irritated thinking he was trying to pass this off as a s/n new print, but sure as free a promo to help animals, who could bee upset about that?
Well, you were right both times. You can download the image for free, but there will also be a limited edition s/n print, edition of 400.
Wow, he's actually selling this?

I don't get why you guys are slamming it. Proceeds are going for a good cause (better than a political). Its not like this is his sale (its thru a charitable organization). He just offered to do the art for it. So what if he mailed it in? I never thought the obama or this as spectacular works of art.

I'm buying it... I think that it is cute, however i'm a huge doggy person. A friend of mine had a Columbus artist do a woodburning piece of my dog Domingo:
