he isn't giving any to charity... he raised prices so that the % going to charity doesn't effect his usual take from a print drop. net-net, he ends up on top the margin on 50 extra prints
How do you know he isn't raising the price in order to donate more to charity than just the amount he is adding to the price of the prints?

I never claimed to not be greedy, I am. But at least I don't try to portray myself otherwise.
Unless you know the exact percentage going to charity (I'll answer this for you)(You don't) you are talking out of your ass.
Would you call him a hypocrite if he was charging $45 and giving 5% to charity? How about if he raised his prices to $60 and gave 50% to charity?

You're just pointlessly speculating and throwing feces. I'm not going to say he's good or bad, but I sure as fudge wouldn't just make numbers up in my head to smear someone's name.

Pretty hard to argue that one of the today's most recognized artists who typically sells his work for under 50 bucks when he could easily sell out at double that is greedy.

The proper wording for charity sales - "all profits go to...." - not a portion

Fairey stuff has seemed to lose all eye appeal since he lost his one artist. He is doing a lot of recycling lately.

Who gives a fudge?
If that is all people have to say about the piece in the "art comments" section, well fudge...

I am still on the fence about it personally. If I am around at the drop, I will probably grab one.

Yeah but you don't have a valid point. You are saying his greedy but you are really just salty because he is successful. Week in week out you can get an 18 x 24 silkscreen by one of the most recognizable artists today that is generally gobbled up at 2x what he asks immediately. Meanwhile unestablished artists asking much and not selling their prints as fundraisers.
