Portrait of a Bank Robber
100% Pure Adrenaline!
Meet artist, small-business owner, and formerly incarcerated bank robber, Daniel Killion. In the mid-'90s, pre-consciously aware of "wage slavery" and "systemic racism," and after seeing the iconic film Point Break , he is inspired to rob banks. It's a romantic life-defining spree that ends in Danny ( Paul Blackman) inevitably getting "busted." We follow him into the correctional system where he serves 12 years in four distinct state and federal institutions. At age 50, he's free, but embroiled in a dispute with local police, a few months into the pandemic, while BLM protests surge. Sans regret, himself as ever, Danny's here to tell you his crazy story over Zoom.

Loved it! Felt like I was catching up with a friend hearing crazy stories. Thankful to have come across this book to learn more about Killion after seeing his amazing art installation at Old New Gate museum in Connecticut.
