What do you think?: Someone arrested for art using vandalism

This article from ArtBistro.com is about a student/construction worker who stole a few construction barrels to create a sculpture on the street. He was arrested for vandalism, which of course is wrong but looking at his work it looks great I feel like his charge should be small. The police took down the sculpture unfortunately, but hopefully (even his own construction company wants him to) he'll make a new one! This brings up the issue of street art and graffiti, some people love it yet some people hate it. I don't really like graffiti, but I can definitely see why people can appreciate it. Wouldn't it be great if people just graffitied on canvases and sold them instead?
