Artworks created by famous criminals are big business, with entire websites devoted to selling off everything and anything created by gangsters, serial killers or famous shooters.
The Krays' at least demonstrate a degree of artistic skill in their colourful landscapes and abstract portraits, but as the gallery below confirms, not all killers who decide to pick up a paint brush are any good in a technical sense.


Some strange old paintings..

Fascinating stuff, but no real surprise here. I'm sure any random assortment of criminals would produce a similarly random assortment of artwork, as I'm sure would any random assortment of non-criminal people.
Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear. ~ Thomas Jefferson
