Alex Schaefer - Artist, Painter & Protest Clown

The last time we talked to Alex Schaefer, he was getting arrested for chalking the sidewalks outside of thieving banks or doing plein air paintings of them, but with flames coming out of their windows. He also was building a huge Monopoly Man puppet for the Rose Parade. Alex is still painting and protesting, but with a whole new twist.

Talkupy with Annie Lindstrom welcomes Alex to the show on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 2 pm ET. We'll talk about his latest work including joining with the Blackstone Gallery and with a bunch of artists to do 100 plein air paintings of 100 LA's buildings & streetscapes in a month and sell the paintings to the public at the end of the challenge. He's also helping to put the finishing touches on a film by Luke Homay Lewis starring himself and friend Chris Hernandez --  Alex and Chris Paint the USA. We'll also talk to Alex about his latest protest character, Zirp the US Economy Clown, who spreads Democracy American style.
