Just a couple weeks removed from the opening of his big solo show in New York (
covered),
Kenny Scharf was arrested for painting one of his signature characters illegally on the streets. He has since been released after spending 20 hours in two Brooklyn jails and will face charges of making graffiti and possession of a graffiti instrument. You can read all the juicy tidbits
here, but this was an interesting quote - "Cops who arrested me were fans and wanted to talk about
Exit Through The Gift Shop and even liked the tag."
