Still not sold out? thats weird, I figured this would be a hot print. Not my favorite, but it is for a good cause.

The ‘dot’ is a pool drain. Now everything makes sense and you will focus on the face.

@ 3d,

Just saw this on BoingBoing posted by Xeni Jardin:

“OK, just checked with the folks putting this together. I’m told that 100% of proceeds for the fine art piece will go to Muir’s expenses (will be sold at auction to the highest bidder) and proceeds from the posters will be split 3 ways between the artists and Muir. So: Muir will get more than 25% from the posters (probably closer to a third), and 100% from the fine art piece.”

I ended up pulling the trigger for one. Not really happy with the art work, the Alva print was light years better, but I’ve been a big Friedman fan for a while and have all of his books.

Why put a limit on the prints? Since it’s for a cause, just be thrilled if it sells out all 450 prints. Putting $36,000 in your pocket. Speaking of which,,, why not disclose what percentage of the (net?) profits will be going to Muir? Granted, anything is better than nothing. Just sayin,,, full transparent disclosure may make people more willing to purchase.

The shading on the the print blows, but I still want it just because of Friedman’s involvement.

The “dot” is the pool drain.

At least Fairey is giving photographers credit these days.
