People actually GO INTO DEBT to buy this shite. Yikes.

Did he sign his name to someone elses painting? People buy what they like. He sets the price, people buy it. Sounds like supply and demand to me. Fraud would be if he stole someone elses painting and signed it. Just because some people are dumb enough to make bad business decisions and buy art with Buddy Christ on it doesn't make him a fraud. Oportunistic maybe, a sleeze, maybe, but not a fraud. You can ALWAYS say NO. Peer pressure/artist pressure != fraud. Peer pressure == asshole. (maybe, I've never met the guy) Lori — I don’t get the fraud part… Did he sign his name to someone elses painting?

I don't like half the art I see, that doesn't mean that someone else won't enjoy it in some way. I know that TK is widely purchased, and people love his work, I think it looks a little old and crusty to me. I'm not sure how many people purchased "clown taking a shit" or whatever.
