A graffiti artist who caused £1million worth of damage by tagging across a city has been jailed for a year.
Daniel Tyndale, 26, sprayed on buildings, cars, signs and even trains in Bristol – racking up a list of convictions – but was repeatedly spared prison.
The ‘exceptional talent’ began selling his art through a dealer, exhibiting at galleries and was even offered a place at the prestigious Goldsmiths College School of Art.
Repeat offender: Daniel Tyndale, 26, gained notoriety by spraying his tag Dotcom on buildings, cars and trains in Bristol – he was jailed at Bristol Crown Court for 12 months
But he was behind bars today after admitting causing criminal damage, assaulting a policeman, possessing cannabis, failing to surrender to court and breaching an ASBO.
Judge Simon Darwall-Smith sentenced the artist to 12 months in prison at a hearing at Bristol Crown Court on Tuesday after being told of Tyndale’s numerous chances to avoid prison.
He told Tyndale: ‘This was a catalogue of offences which bears a very strong resemblance to previous offences on your record and in direct conflict to the anti-social behaviour order.
‘You have a history of not complying with court orders.’

Bristol Crown Court was told how Tyndale – known as Dotcom after one of his tags – was arrested after he was spotted swigging a large bottle of lager on a train from London Paddington to Bristol Temple Meads.
After he left the train, Tyndale was seen kicking a telephone box and swearing at a bus driver, before joining his group in pinning a man against the side of a bus shelter.
He then used a yellow craft knife to scratch graffiti tags into the window of Escape Hair Salon on a nearby street.

David Hunter, prosecuting, told the court how Tyndale had pushed and sworn at a PC after officers visited an address in Bristol in February.
They discovered traces of cannabis in an ashtray.
Magistrates found Tyndale guilty of assault and criminal damage in his absence after he failed to turn up at court.
Susan Cavender, defending, told the court: ‘He has a dreadful list of previous convictions which is all graffiti.’
She added that her client had turned down a place at Goldsmiths because he was apprehensive about being able to get accommodation in the capital.

Our criminal justice system is a joke… Exhibit A. Why do our politicians not understand that criminals are laughing in our faces?

Was he doing art like Banksy or was he just a tagger? There is a big difference.

Graffiti – It’s not art, it’s ugly and does NOTHING positive for the towns and cities that are blighted with it.
