The Creative Process

"An artist who randomly vandalised nearly 50 cars for a project said the owners should be happy they were part of his 'creative process'."

"Mark McGowan, 37, will exhibit pictures of himself scratching the vehicles' paintwork in London and Glasgow.

"He said he had 'keyed' 17 cars in Glasgow's West End in March and 30 in Camberwell, south London.

"The Met police said the act was criminal damage and if allegations are made they will be investigated.

"Mr McGowan added: 'I do feel guilty about keying people's cars but if I don't do it, someone else will.

"'They should feel glad that they've been involved in the creative process. I pick the cars randomly."

The man's a genius.

As someone who recently had the windshield wipers on his car bent, randomly, I wouldn't blame any victim who decided to engage Mr. McGowan in his or her own "creative process."
