Have you heard about Jim Clay Harper (a.k.a. “Ether”) and his girlfriend, Danielle Bremner (a.k.a. “Dani”)?

They’re the couple who allegedly tagged their way across Europe, enjoying the continent’s train system and making their own graphic improvements along the way.

Harper and Bremner, described by the New York City Police Department as some of the world’s most traveled artists…ahem, vandals, were arrested last week upon their return to the U.S. after having train-hopped from London to Madrid, Paris, Frankfurt, and Hamburg, leaving a trail of graffiti behind them.

Next stop for the couple?

If convicted of the charges of which they stand accused, Harper and Bremner may be taking a seven year all-inclusive in the state pen.

Maybe prison staff will let them work the paint detail.

    BY the way… the “AKA” is Utah… graffiti is nos any crime, is just puting colors and art to the public freely, even if is now ilegal. I think that people don’t look outside the window seen that what we do is not harming anyone, but the same system is harmig your minds making them think we vandals are criminals.
