Yoshitomo Nara, a top Japanese pop artist in town for a big gallery opening was busted the night before his show when cops spotted him drawing a smiley face on the wall of an East Side subway station.

From the New York Post:

Nara – whose works portraying doe-eyed, cartoonish children have sold for as much as $1.5 million – was charged with resisting arrest, making graffiti, criminal mischief, possession of graffiti tools and damaging property. He was released after spending the night in jail and will have the charges dropped if he does not get in legal trouble for a year, officials said.
