The dealer's asking $8500.

You might be better off walking into the Foc'sle Bar in Wilmington and offering $100 for the beat-up old painting on the wall.

Just be sure you can ask in Spanish :)

That Bowers really liked his cheesecake. Check out this edited G-rated image of the Foc'sle mural.

Update - I just Yelped the Buccaneer in Sierra Madre. Someone posted the Bowers painting images there (with no reference to his name.) Gotta love the internet. You can be an Urban Archaeologist and never have to leave home. This thread may have inadvertently become the most comprehensive overview of Bower's work on the web.

I just hijacked my own post !!

FYI, here's the Leilani Hut and Zamboanga images for a full comparison....
