WYLAND Paints 100 Million Dollar Canvas

Acclaimed environmental artist WYLAND worked on a canvas different than any other he had worked with in the past. He called it one of the most valuable surfaces he's ever painted, a 100-MILLION DOLLAR canvas. In May 2007 Aloha Airlines commissioned WYLAND to paint one of its airplanes to spread the word about ocean conservancy.

Next time you see him ask him why he ignored the gallery in Sayville, NY and never did even one show for them after they gave him over $125,000 for merchandise. The poor woman who owned it had to close and now has filed personal bankruptcy and has lost everything. Ask him why!!!
