The Painter of Light in the clink and other bizarre artist arrests

Thomas Kinkade was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Carmel, CA over the weekend. The Painter of Light‘s manufacturing arm has been plagued with legal issues as of late, including filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection following a $1 million judgment against it.

Flavorwire compiled a list of bizarre artist arrests, including a graffiti artist who was locked up for stealing pencils from Damien Hirst’s Pharmacy (1992) and holding them for ransom.
