You gotta admire this guy's sheer chutzpah:

"My sister inspired me to do it. She was throwing away loads of my pictures one day and I asked her why. She said 'It's not like they're going to be hanging in the Louvre.'"

He took that as a challenge. "I thought why wait until I'm dead," he said.

And if he hasn't made it to the Louvre (yet) he has now had his work displayed in the Brooklyn Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History. Makes me wonder if this was really the first time a stunt like this has ever been pulled.

Many a visitor to New York's Museum of Modern Art has probably thought, "I could do that."
