At least purportedly. Thomas Kinkade, hated by art history teachers, artists, and general good taste is supposedly under investigation by the FBI. I don’t have much love for people who produce junk then say “praise Jesus,” and expect us not to call it junk.

Full disclosure: My wife, mother, and aunt are all artists… and they all think he produces crap… I just happen to concur. My wife’s christian, my mother and aunt are lapsed catholics (agnostics at best.) My mother-in-law loves his stuff; she, however, is a little to the right of Pat Robertson… on a good day.
