Art on trial.

If you live in Montreal, at some point you have seen the cool little bits of art that transform parking lines into light switches, parking meters into a ball and chain etc etc. They are all over the Plateau and they are one of those things that brings whimsy and happiness into the world, which, according to me, is a very very good thing.

I had always wondered who the artist was. Imagine my surprise to find out by reading about him being arrested for public nuisance. You can read about the whole thing here, and there are links to the Mayor of Montreal's office and the arresting officer. I encourage you to voice your opinion on this matter.
