I don;t agree with this or what moveon.org did.

In the case of moveon.org it's a totally different thing, they are not an art dealer nor an artist, they are raising money to support a political agenda. The prints they sell may be collectible items, but they are not selling them to that audience or for that purpose. If MBW was giving all his proceeds to moveon.org, how would people feel? Very differently I imagine.

Mr Moneygrab Wash, by raiden on Nov 12, 2008 8:39:10 GMT 1, Good point Seth. MoveOn.org is a worthy liberal organization who I contribute to without print work incentives, while MBW is a talentless, scraggly haired, rich wannabe street artist who is trying to buy himself a fan base and a place in the art world.
So I'm perfectly fine with MBW burning his market. 
Though I will say this much for Thierry, he has expressed his intention to me to get his art out to the largest audience and I would venture to guess he released the larger edition for reasons completely unrelated to money, as he reportedly has plenty of money. I suspect his reason for the 2nd edition was to let more people own a rendition of the print, which he wheat pasted EVERYWHERE! As much as I've bashed him, he is very grateful to his fans and a genuinely nice guy.
Personally, this may be the only MBW print I've ever considered buying - mostly because I actually think its his best street image after he posted it on every surface in town. Though once again I have to knock him on originality as he did produce this image only after approx 20 other artists did Obama prints and wasn't even the first "Obama as superhero" prints.

Mr Moneygrab Wash, by Grubster on Nov 12, 2008 16:06:54 GMT 1, I agree Seth, regarding moveon.org but I believe they should have informed people they were selling more posters the next day for $16.66 instead of $90. I think it was a little deceptive.
What about the LOPEZ re-release too.
Right about not being the first obama superman image. Alex Ross's image is 100 X better than MBW and talent.
