Put him in a cell with plenty of spray paint of all colors for one week then let him enjoy his art and maybe put it on utube. When he admits to being tired of looking at it let him have some prison color paint paint over his art and start over. A lot cheaper than cleanup tax. Bet people would donate paint I bet.

I really enjoyed his Felix the Cat pictures. It was always a treat to find a new one. the places he painted on were worn out eyesores, so he made them look better and enhanced the community.
