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.
i want you all to know that there is an artist (carmen papalia) who, after he started using a white cane, assembled a 12 foot long white cane and began using it in downtown vancouver. the length of the cane made it functionally useless as a device and the only purpose it served was making him an obstacle for sighted people. dare i say… 2019 goals
therapist to sighted patient: long cane isnt real and it cant hurt you
carmen papalia:
[id: a dimly lit photo of carmen papalia using his 12 foot “long cane” piece. he walks casually behind it. the cane takes up the majority of both the photograph and the sidewalk.]
