The premise
In 2008, I built a painting machine to help bail out the banks. I bounced on a trampoline, caught airborne paint on my body, and landed on a canvas. The colors were office-appropriate.
The offer
I delivered a painting to Washington Mutual and proposed they auction it to their wealthier clients to raise capital. They declined.
