Artist and designer of the now-iconic Vuitton handbags, Takashi Murakami, is auctioning off several pieces in Sotheby’s upcoming spring auctions. The most valuable, estimated between $3-4 million, is a sculpture of a manga dude, um, “ejaculating in lasso-like form,” titled “My Lonesome Cowboy.”

Takashi Murakami, the artist known in part for his work on Louis Vuitton handbags, just saw his sculpture of a nude anime-looking dude ejaculating (left) sell for $15 million at auction.
