I'm a big fan of phlegm and would rate him as one of my favourite artists in the scene, however I personally wouldn't chuck 50 bucks into a pot to buy the guy a present just because I like his work.
I'd be very surprised if Roa and Phlegm didn't personally know each other anyway, they seem to work together a lot at the same events and shows. You should get them to do an art swap (if they haven't done one already....which I suspect they have) save yourself and everyone else some cash.

Part of the intention is also to start a fan club, something we like to do on Expressobeans. Maybe it's cuz I'm from the states. In any case, I'm still going through with the project. It's already in motion. Only 26 donations left.
I'm sure they do know each other. But it's not really about that. Phlegm is a solid dude as well as a great artist. He always goes above and beyond for his fans. So this is the kick off to a fan club and a thank you.
I know we've all pissed away $50 on garbage prints and such over the years. So maybe sell a small something and offer a gift. If not, no worries.

It sure is a bubble.

BUT
While I see the OP's benefit, 1) commissioning ROA, 2)delivering in person claiming responsibility for the idea and fan club, I fail to see benefit of the basically anonymous 49 others.
More power to him if 49 others want to give cash to strangers. Hell kickstarter is the norm now isn't it

Anyways, I contributed to this initiative. I've been given countless hours of entertainment through his blog with the photos he makes available of his drawings and murals, and he is also very generous with his time in responding to any mundane detail of previous or future work that I have questions about. Of course he doesn't need anyone to buy the drawing for him. It is simply a nice gesture from a small subsection of his fan base.

As an artist and musician I am perpetually flattered and amazed that anyone shows the slightest interest in my work and treat this as the highest compliment possible. I've never physically met him but have had dealings with him and Phlegm seems a top, genuine bloke who would do anything for people who appreciate his work and I am sure that this is because he is flattered by people's interest. Giving him a little present is a nice gesture but I'm sure he would rather everyone spent $50 on a more worthy cause. Just my opinion.

Would definitely buy the real matt letiss a pint or two but not a $1500 piece of art (whatever that is in ยฃs). That's if the first post was genuine or just for comedy?

NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!
Truly, an enormous amount of cuntfilled reactions over here. Its a GESTURE. A fine one at that. Its not deserving of a personal assault by any of you. Someone intends to do something nice for another human being and you all bitch about nonsense? Its not about money, friendships or anything of the sort. Its a fuckin gift from a group of fans that says, "you're an awesome dude. we appreciate what you do and how you go about it".
Some of you need to take a look in the mirror sometimes and slap whats looking back at you.

If people want to get involved great for them, I hope phlegm likes what you get him.
IMO I think it's an odd thing to do, but a nice gesture is its being done for the right reasons....

I haven't flown off any handles lately. This was just a bit goofy and saw fit to express my opinion. Not a huge fan of seeing people attempt to do something good and people coming along poking holes.

I haven't been around too much lately so was just going on your previous form... X
I can understand people being slightly cynical, a lot of people are cynical in life. I don't think looking through the responses there were personal attacks though. People just wonder if there is an underlying reason for doing it, ie getting in with phlegm to try and score releases.....
Personally I think you're all doing it cos you Americans love a fan club, us Brits can't stand celebs and the only fan club id join would be one were the girls dance naked with fans.

Also, you haven't got a fanclub as such or a website where Phlegm fans are members on... which I believe that idea would be better and he would perhaps be more impressed than actually giving him something he can easily get/already has ... but that's just my opinion!
I know that he ends up at a lot of same art festivals with ROA and I would be surprised if they haven't swapped art already in the past!
It may be worth focusing your time in setting up a new home for the true Phlegm fan ... and then get a yearly present from the site members ....
Nevertheless, good luck and no doubt you will raise that money in no time!
