this is the same guy that painted the chase banks on fire ..,,,, Comrade Alex

Alex Schaefer was my painting instructor in college at ACCD. He’s just as chaotic as you’d expect. He’d sometimes miss whole weeks cuz he was in jail for protesting unethical banking. We saw him on TV a lot during the 2016 election cuz he was always carrying around that huge puppet during demonstrations and marches in LA. Always covered in paint even when he wasn’t teaching. Or painting. I’ve been to his apartment during a field trip and it’s covered in paint dabs from top to bottom, just absolutely caked in it. Taught us a lot of great techniques. Great painter, great teacher. Absolute weirdo. I respect him a lot.
