Burning banks
‘He just sold this painting of a burning Chase bank branch on eBay for a cool $25,000 . . . It helped that he got a shitload of publicity, from two(!) police investigations.’
The work of Alex Schaefer.
Articles here and here. Alex’s blog here (he’s now ‘symbolically’ burning other buildings as part of the Occupy movement).

‘Close Your Bank Accounts’
This seems obvious but it isn’t.
I’ve been using credit unions for about 15 years, have free checking and there’s no fees on my debit cards – unless BofA (or another ‘out of network’ teller) decides to charge me one.
For more info about credit unions (or simply banking local), visit the Move Your Money Project website.

Occupy, the posters
‘I’ve been doing posters for tons of cities across America’
In the past few weeks, one of my former students has found herself cast as the visual heart of the Occupy movement. Raina Dayne started with offering to do a poster and it’s blossomed into something much bigger.
Raina’s images can be downloaded for use at the Occupy Together website. Facebook page here, shirts here.
