Coloring outside of the lines

Paint-by-numbers - a popular hobby for young and old in the 50s and 60s. Paint-by-numbers kits served as art for the masses, making it possible for any person, artistically inclined or not, to paint a detailed portrait, still-life, or landscape.

Now, it seems that there is a big market not for the kits, but for the finished pieces. Call these collectors too lazy to complete their own masterpieces, or consider them collectors of automated folk-art.
