16 year old graffiti artist Cartrain walked in to the Tate Britain(London) early last week and removed a packet of pencils from one of Damien Hirsts exhibits. Damien Hirst and Cartrain have a long standing rocky history. Earlier this year Hirst targeted the young graffiti artist Cartrain using Design and Artists Copyright Society (DAC's) for breach of copyright infringement on his latest series of artworks being sold vir 100artworks.com.
The box of very rare "FABER CASTELL dated 1990 Mongol 482 series" pencils were removed from Damien Hirst's "PHARMACY installation" by Cartrain on Thursday the 2nd July around 4pm.

Not long after the pencils were removed from the installation a fake police 'appeal for assistance' posters appeared all around London.
Cartrain first started doing graffiti when he was 12 and soon came up with his now recognisable signature. The Artist is now taking the art, graffiti, and political world by storm.
His work has started to appear across Central London. Brick Lane and Hackney, seem to be areas favoured by Cartrain. Banners carrying his distinctive emblem have been seen hanging from bridges and his stencils have been sprayed on walls opposite the Houses of Parliament. His work often depicts political figures including Tony Blair, Gordon Brown and George Bush.
