Times article:

In sworn testimony and interviews, they recount incidents in which an allegedly drunken Kinkade heckled illusionists Siegfried & Roy in Las Vegas, cursed a former employee's wife who came to his aid when he fell off a barstool, and palmed a startled woman's breasts at a signing party in South Bend, Ind.

And then there is Kinkade's proclivity for "ritual territory marking," as he called it, which allegedly manifested itself in the late 1990s outside the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.

"This one's for you, Walt," the artist quipped late one night as he urinated on a Winnie the Pooh figure, said Terry Sheppard, a former vice president for Kinkade's company, in an interview.
...

I think there was also an incident where he called the cops because he was drunk in an alley and lost a briefcase full of cash.

It would be like "It's a Wonderful Life," only backwards.

This film, maybe one of the worst ideas of all-time, unless the filmmakers plan on having Jean Michel-Basquait come in and sodomize Kincaid, then graffiti all sorts of funny sayings like "Rtist" and "E-d-ott" all over his naked backside.

He sold his fantasy franchise Abarat to Disney for $8 million based solely on his paintings.

Barker's movie probably won't have as much Christmas spirit, though.

If you lived in the Midwest and had PBS, he was a Saturday morning WTF moment of sublime pleasure. He would put you right back to sleep no matter how many bowls of Cocoa Puffs you had slurped down.

I've also heard rumors (via Kotaku, I think) that they want to develop a Bob Ross game for the Wii, where you actually paint the happy little trees with him. I would buy that so fucking fast my wrist would break.
