Chase burning on Miracle Mile (painting by Alex Schaefer)

Alex Schaefer: 

"I started this painting of the Los Angeles Federal Reserve branch on the corner of Grand and Olympic a while ago but just now got around to finishing it. In fact, it was September 17th last year, the first day of Occupy New York! Like I said, Bank Bailout/welfare for the 1% has got a lot of people upset. Makes me want to go out there an do another one of the same, destructive motif!"
