From Wiki:
“...The Los Angeles Times has reported that some of Kinkade’s former colleagues, employees, and even collectors of his work say that he has a long history of cursing and heckling other artists and performers. The Times further reported that he openly groped a woman’s breasts at a South Bend, Indiana, sales event, and mentioned his proclivity for ritual territory marking through urination, once relieving himself on a Winnie the Pooh figure at a Disney site while saying “This ones for you, Walt.”[26][27] Kinkade has denied some of the allegations, and accepted and apologized for others.[27]
In 2006 John Dandois, Media Arts Group executive, recounted a story that on one occasion (”about six years ago”) Kinkade became drunk at a Siegfried & Roy magic show in Las Vegas and began shouting “Codpiece! Codpiece!” at the performers. Eventually he was calmed by his mother.[26] Dandois also said of Kinkade, “Thom would be fine, he would be drinking, and then all of a sudden, you couldn’t tell where the boundary was, and then he became very incoherent, and he would start cussing and doing a lot of weird stuff.”[26] On 11 June 2010, Kinkade was arrested in Carmel, CA on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol.

Well at least he hasn’t attempted to cut off his own ear (YET).
Is it true that Vincent Van Gogh said to the hat salesman, “I like it, but it keeps sliding over my ear.” ?
