prisoner's artwork...


This picture is a detail of Colin Pitchfork's work, who is one of Britain's most notorious child sex murderers and who made hundreds of pound from its sale. Royal Festival Hall naively bought it for 1500 pounds..

A High Court judge said that Pitchfork was the first murderer he has dealt with to make truly exceptional progresses in prison but said his crimes were so horrific that he must remain in prison. 
The artwork is patiently made from manuscript of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. That reminds me something...
