Executed on February 23 1996 - almost 2 years after finishing this painting
William George Bonin (January 8, 1947 – February 23, 1996) was an American serial killer and twice-paroled sex offender, also known as the Freeway Killer, who committed the rape, torture and murder of a minimum of 21 boys and young men in a series of killings in 1979 and 1980 in southern California. Bonin is also suspected of committing a further fifteen murders.
Very pretty cubic art piece on cardboard with Bonin's own style. This piece is signed William "Bill" Bonin and is numbered 107-1 and dated 12-30-93.
He would be painting it and almost finishing this piece for New Years Eve!
Thinking of his execution as seen in this painting. Very revealing piece as his time passes by and execution gets closer and closer. The final meal, The phone call giving the ok and the straps of the gas chamber along the letter E for exexution can be seen in this painting.
Bonin was executed by lethal injection inside the gas chamber at San Quentin State Prison on February 23, 1996. He was the first person to be executed by lethal injection in the history of California, and his execution occurred 14 years after his first death sentence had been imposed.
