Walter F known as “OZ” a 61 year old artist spray painter from Hamburg Germany has been sentenced to fourteen months imprisonment by a local court for vandalism. Not his first stint of imprisonment for his art, OZ has already served an accumulated eight years of imprisonment to date over the past two decades since his first conviction in 1992. None of these convictions and prison terms have swayed OZ from his art which comprises primarily smiley faces and the letters OZ sprayed 120000 times to the walls of buildings, services boxes and access covers. OZ has no intention of stopping when released, believing the authorities are “cleanliness Nazis” intent on keeping him from the happiness he experiences from the spraying activities. His work has been featured in the Sprühling coffee table book. Inspired by Martina Goy ow.ly/5XA4h image source hatcherscene ow.ly/5XzXK He has no intention of stopping (August 10 2011)
