Hepper said he painted the original "Wall Street Summer Storms" in April and sold it at ArtsFest. The first 100 prints available in exchange for Red Cross donations will be signed and numbered, and all will be inscribed "September 11, 2001."|ret||ret||tab|

The prints, which normally sell for $20 each, were made possible by a sizable cost reduction for printing by Kinko's.[[In-content Ad]]
