Anthony Lister , by fingerz on Nov 11, 2014 9:02:17 GMT 1, Arrest threat leaves street artist feeling no love
A Brisbane street artist whose works sell for upwards of $10,000 apiece says he's losing the will to paint in his home city.
Anthony Lister was arrested on 12 outstanding wilful damage and graffiti charges early Saturday morning, after being pulled over at Woolloongabba for a routine random breath test.
"I was actually driving away from a person's house where I'd been asked to paint a wall," he said.
"My hands were completely covered in paint."
Lister said he was forced to leave his car in a bus lane near the Story Bridge after police took him to the watchhouse on arrest warrants dating back to 2009.
"I spent 10 or 12 hours in there - as every incarcerated civilian does - freezing, hungry and bored," he said.
