The cadre of celebrity artists gets another rocking member. Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley, best known for painting his own face, has translated his skills to the canvas.

The gallery is selling giclees of his work on canvas. The work includes pictures of himself and his bandmates as well as muddy spheres and hearts.

Woman Arrested for Kissing $2.7 Million Dollar Painting
Normally a kiss as a sign of affection is a good thing, but when it happens in an art gallery on a $2.7 million dollar painting it's not only not a good thing -- it's a crime. It happened last Thursday in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Avignon, France. The woman, 30-year-old Sam Rindy, had apparently been admiring a 9'x6' bone white painting by Cy Twombly valued at over £1 million and was suddenly overcome and just had to kiss it. She's quoted as saying "The artist left this white for me." Yeah, well it's not white anymore since there's a lipstick imprint left behind. Ms. Rindy is awaiting trial on August 16 for "damage to a work of art."
