Straight From Death Row: Coffee Painting

Hey look it’s another article with prison inmates using coffee as a creative medium! I wonder if I should worry about my future. Am I a candidate for caffeinated incarcerated artistic expression syndrome?

Seriously though - this article is more about 3 brothers who are maintaining their innocents and raising money for their defense fun. Below is the excerpt pertaining to coffee painting. I would encourage you to read the full article and follow some of the links therein. It’s an interesting crime mystery drama!

Echols is not allowed any art supplies in prison, so his work is often created with whatever materials he can scrounge, including coffee and old magazines.
This one-night-only event includes music, speaking, and poetry readings by good ol’ Henry Rollins, veteran rocker Jonathan Richman and this SFist's personal favorite, sexy mop-headed former Supervisor Matt Gonzalez.

Enjoy, who knows maybe you’ll be the one to help set these three free. What the heck, Henry Rollins did his part in reading poetry at the one-night-only event.
