Graffiti artist finds it's good to get caught

VALLETTA (Reuters) - Getting caught red-handed busily spraying away under a London bridge landed a graffiti artist a job at a five-star hotel in Prague.

Christian Grage, the general manager of the Corinthia Towers Hotel in the Czech Republic's capital, hired Chris Fenwick on the spot to help liven up the hotel's beer club.

 The Maltese-based Corinthia Group said Fenwick, a creative designer for an up-and-coming teen Web site in Britain, exchanged his running shoes for unlimited supply of colourful spray, and the opportunity to let his imagination run riot. 

The hotel chain, which operates 22 hotels in 11 countries, said Fenwick was an instant hit and painted not only the Beer and Bowling Club but filled up other sections with images of robotic vacuum cleaners and guests leaping over suitcases.
