Barrel monster artist update (good news!)

WRAL reports that Joe Carnevale received his sentence today for creating a monster out of traffic barrels: 50 hours of community service with deferred judgment until October 30th.

My favorite part:

Carnevale said Tuesday that he believes his sentence is fair and that he is proud of his artwork, both "legal and illegal."

He said he plans to continue his public art and that, despite getting arrested, "it was all worth it." His advice to other artists: "Don't get caught."

He has, unfortunately, removed all content from his blog, so this is good news that he plans to keep at it.
