Landis occasionally masquerades as a priest, sips brandy from a Phillips' Milk of Magnesia bottle and has dedicated much of his life's work to a nonexistent sister.
Unlike most art forgers, Landis was never in it for the money. He gave away his forgeries. One of his primary motivations, however, was universal: he wanted acceptance and respect. Art and Craft will likely earn him both, and perhaps confer cult status on the mild-mannered 59-year-old.
