Were they art paintings of Chief Engineer Scotty from Star Trek?

[atomicpossum]

Did he paint them with the toupee?

With hair llike that, Traficant could definitely pass as an avant garde artist...

[bigcat32]

Paint by numbers?

He's no Thomas Kincade by what do I know about art?

[keat]

Bizarre. Beyond bizarre.

Wasn’t John Gacy a painter? And maybe Ed Gein as well?

I have a picture of his boat, somewhere around here. It was pretty funny - he went to jail, for having his staffers work on it.

It had trees growing out of the deck.

After he went to jail, the marina siezed it for unpaid dues, and scrapped it.

It was a couple of slips down from my boat.

Last year, prosecutors tried to garnish the proceeds from those sales to pay a $150,000 judgment against Traficant, but they dropped the action after Traficant wrote a letter that said his paintings were gifts to the woman who operates the Web site, Sybille Oelschlager.

"I have received no funds -- not one penny of remuneration, and I am still being pursued for moneys I have never seen," Traficant wrote in a letter to Oelschlager.

Yeah, and OJ Simpson is a pennyless black man searching desparately to find his ex-wife's killer.

Fine Art Ping.
