Artist Damien Hirst is obviously going to the wrong stationer's to buy his HBs as they set him back a whopping £50,000. At least, that's what he claimed when a teenage rival artist half inched a pack from his installation 'Pharmacy'.
The theft was an act of retaliation by the young artist who Hirst had already taken to task over using images of his diamond encrusted skull sculpture in a collage.
I always thought art was about freedom of expression and pushing the boundaries, but apparently it's about strict copyright laws and huge wads of cash.

I heard he's claiming for £500,000 actually.
