Spray it again Jim: Actor Carrey turns graffiti artist as he paints the side of his house

He may have made his name as an actor in films such as The Trueman show, but Jim Carrey was trying his hand at a very different skill today.
The 49-year-old star was spotted spray painting a brightly coloured design on the side of his New York home.
Using a stencil and several cans of spray paint, the actor seemed very focussed on the task in hand.

The actor's design seemed to resemble a form of tree in a circle, with a swirly line underneath.

He completed the picture with the mysterious letters 'F.F.C,' which certainly provided a stark contrast to the grey wall at his West Village home.
The actor wore sensibly casual clothes for his artistic task, along with a pair of glasses.

In the can: Jim used several different colours of spray paint for his artistic efforts

Attention to detail: The Canadian-born actor looked very focussed as he worked on his design

Last week, he became the subject of some controversy for his 'creepy'  video blog in which he professed his love for 22-year-old actress Emma Stone.
'Emma, I just wanted to let you know that I think you are all the way beautiful, not just pretty but kind-hearted and if I were a lot younger I would marry you and we would have chubby little freckle-faced kids,' he said on the footage. 
He continued: 'Every day for the rest of your life, you would thank God that I was the appropriate age for you.
'But I'm not. I'm 49. I have lines on my face, sometimes a little grey in my beard, and it takes me a little longer to pee than it used to.'

Nearing completion: Jim completed his work of art with the letters F.F.C

He later took to his Twitter to say that the piece was a joke.
'Yes, my msg to Emma Stone was a comedy routine and the funniest part is that everything i said is tru,' he tweeted.
However, Jim received some good news today when it emerged that his latest movie, Mr Popper's Penguins, has taken more than $100 million overseas after performing less well in the domestic box office.

All done: The actor stands back to admire his handiwork which certainly provided a bright contrast to the grey wall
