03 Feb 2009 3:24 PM
A graphic design student caught doing graffiti on a Sydney wall has been wished luck in his art career by a magistrate .. so long as his work is exhibited in galleries and not on public property.
EDWARD MULVIHILL .. of Thirroul near Wollongong .. has escaped with a good behaviour bond .. a day after a teenager was jailed for three months for writing graffiti on a Sydney cafe's wall.
The 20-year-old appeared before Waverley Local Court .. pleading guilty to a charge of malicious damage after vandalising a wooden wall on Oxford Street .. Paddington .. in December.
Magistrate CHRIS LONGLEY castigated MULVIHILL .. but took into consideration MULVIHILL'S offence took place on a wall that is likely to be demolished on a construction site.
He placed MULVIHILL on a two-year good behaviour bond.
