Eve's Breast Jails Artist

A muralist who painted an exposed breast on a biblical Eve was sentenced to 30 days in jail, two years probation and a $500 fine. His crime - violating a city sign ordinance. The US artist Ed Stross mural on the side of his studio - a variation on Michelangelo's Creation of Man - includes Eve's bare breast and the word "love." On Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan appealed the judge's sentence and asked that Stoss remain free until the case is reviewed. The ordinance itself could be unconstitutional.
