Chris Brown Fined For Art Work Outside His House

Chris Brown loves graffiti. His neighbors in the Hollywood Hills don’t appear to share his appreciate for the art form.

The R&B artist has been fined $376 for unpermitted and excessive signage after he posted a mural on a retaining wall outside of his house. The images are of monster-like creators, which are reportedly scaring children in the area. “There are lots of babies, lots of children, and they’re literally frightened,” Patti Negri, president of the Hollywood Dell Civic Assn told the Los Angeles Times. “It’s like devils on the wall — big scary eyes and big scary teeth, and just the whole vibe is not what we’re used to.”

Brown does not agree and took to Twitter to voice his displeasure.

Keep em inside then! It’s art. There are scarier creatures on Harry potter. Get a fucking life!
