I do think it makes a difference mono, not that she's actually Japanese but that she's quite well known and her work is often themed around Japanese culture... Also, she's giving all the proceeds from an existing work, not creating some bullshit cliche.
Even that article links to a worldwide donation page, not to her store.
It's like what you said on the last page, U2 use their fame to promote charitable causes, not their music... they sing about disasters, but the proceeds of "bloody sunday" don't go to the bloody sunday inquiry... and there's just no comparison between some of these design efforts and a mammoth fund-raising exercise like band aid (which in retrospect wasn't even that effective)...
- I'd love to see any one of these designers follow on from a print, continue supporting the cause for years to come...kingsteven
- I guess Yoko's support will continue as she can prove an emotional connection to the subject though her work.kingsteven
- "permanence of vision"... i guesskingsteven
