I started another burning bank painting today, this time the Chase branch in Van Nuys.

If you like, you can also visit his online ebay auction of his painting, oil on canvas, 22 by 28. UPDATE: Not a Chase fan, Alex has also  listed a Bank of America painting as well, you can find HERE.

I think this painting is really touching a nerve so I’m putting it up for auction.   It’s getting a lot of publicity which I’m very excited about!  It started out as a simple urban landscape painting for a series of artworks depicting banks on fire.  But then after a few hours the police arrived and took my information inquiring as to whether I was a terrorist.
