The self-proclaimed "Painter of Light" Thomas Kinkade was considered the ultimate kitsch artist who was very successful. He may be gone but there are others willing to take his place. Not only are they trying to emulate his style but they have gone a step further: They have injected far right-wing religious politics into their work.
First there's John McNaughton, whose work has caught the eye of Stephen Colbert.
But there's now a challenger to John McNaughton's dominance as The Right-Wing Christian Artist.
Find out about McNaughton's new challenger after the jump...
Check out David Bugnon's piece titled Breitbart's "Fight".

The description alone is totally priceless!
When it came to the cause of truth, Andrew Breitbart was one in a million: a provocateur par excellence. America witnessed his combatant spirit up close and personal when he and Hannah Giles blew the cover off of ACORN.
Andrew would happily fight people, organizations and governments with tooth, fang and claw if he sensed any anti-American BS. David Bugnon’s piece captures Breitbart’s essence as a contrarian: confident and geared-up.
Make room on your wall for a limited edition reproduction of Bugnon’s painting. We should all emulate the moxie Andrew perfected for that which is just and true. Hang your print by the front door so as you depart your house and dive into the cultural trenches you will be ever mindful, thanks to Andrew’s example, that there are things worth scrapping for—and America’s founding documents are definitely one of them.
This glycee print version can be yours for almost $4,000.
John McNaughton got Sean Hannity to fork over six figures for his painting of a very grim-faced Barack Obama burning the U.S. Constitution while pointing to it. It'll be interesting to see if David Bugnon can inspire a Fox News personality to make a similar large financial investment in his, um, "art".
