Spencer Reinhard is a convicted felon who hatched a scheme to steal priceless Audobon books in Transylvania University, here’s the link to the full story.

Recently, the city of Lexington, where I live, commissioned him to paint a mural in the downtown area, across from the Central Public Library.
Even though Reinhard seems genuinely remorseful about his actions (I asked him a question about remorse during a Q+A) I think it’s a bit of a disgrace, especially since established artists in the community have a hard time getting permission to do murals.
