@Nola, thank for viewing and I am glad you found it fascinating, Cheers, Michael Hoard Actor, Artist, Photographer.
@Roy, the entire story is interesting and how something as simplistic as a piece of cardboard with writing have a impact or statement. I like the idea the artist followed up with video and interviews, it turned it into a documentary of sorts. I personally would not buy one but go and offer the money to an actually homeless person, unless the artist may contribute money in a fund to help the homeless. I do not recall seeing that mentioned in the article. I see perhaps a homeless person who may have been in a situation similar and made it back to his or her feet, but perhaps they would keep the sign they own and have it framed as a reminder of what got them in the predicament in the first place.
