Jim Carrey is leading a 1-man rebellion against New York City officials who claim he has NO RIGHT to spray paint the front of his art studio ... and he's exacting revenge with the help of his imaginary friend.
Carrey tells TMZ ... the drama began when city officials painted over some "street art" he had spray painted on the outside wall of his West Village art studio.
Carrey says the street art featured an image of a character he created named "Baba" -- a "mischievous deity ... [who] exists in negative space."
So today, Carrey stuck it to The Man with a brand new piece of street art on the same wall -- featuring another image of Baba ... along with the message, "This graffiti reapplied pursuant to ... [Baba]"
Carrey tells TMZ ... he's not upset with the city worker who painted over his work ... saying, "This gentleman has a job to do" ... but he adds, "I'm just doing my job now as an artist and putting it back up."
He adds, "They can take it down again if they want to and it's OK with me ... I'll even pay for it."

What kind of idiot decided a guy can't spray paint his own garage door? It's not hurting anyone...
Fight the Power! Surprisingly, Ace Ventura isn't that bad of a tagger. - Abaddon
It's graffiti and it's an eyesore. I don't blame the city. The city should just hire someone to keep painting the door and send that idiot the bill each time. See who quits first.
So you buy the house next door as an investment and because this "over actor" attention seeking wanna be funny guy spray paints his garage in neon colors your property values drop when selling time comes. He should be very, very, very thankful I am not his neighbor or he would be listening to country and western christmas tunes in the summer until he removed it.
JIm likes Coke not Pepsi look at those eyes just like when he was on In Living Color...
Ya, it's graffiti no matter what. Not that good either, but still a fan. Wish the old Jim Carrey would come back. Mr.Poppers? What the f**k?

And we all wondered why Jenny McCarthy dumped him? Now we understand more.
Go Jim... you show em that the Canadians won't be shoved around.
Ugh what kind of city officials have the right to touch somebodys private property? HE OWNS IT HE CAN PAINT WHATEVER HE WANTS ON IT!
