Recently Metro reported that a 15-year-old boy had been sentenced to four months in a young offenders' institution for breaching an ASBO served on him before Christmas for repeated vandalism. He had been caught tagging trains in a depot despite the terms of the order, and was sent down accordingly.
At this point I was thinking that this boy was very driven. His demons clearly compelled him to continue with his illicit activities, even in the face of possible imprisonment. Nothing could be allowed to stifle his creative spirit; he was battling for his soul, his identity—to him everything else was mere vapid shadow and fickle illusion. My Christ, the boy had to be an ARTIST!
Then I saw a picture of his work:

Seriously, kid, it wasn't worth going to prison for that.
