About Kinkade being dead: it was just wishful thinking.. I was hoping that just once, saying it would make it so. Foiled again.

He's still painting cottages because his creative life has been sucked out of him, and turned himself into a marketing campaign instead of an artist. He could've been great, but he chose to be ridiculous.
THANK YOU THOMAS KINKADE. IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU, I WOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN REAL BEAUTY. YOU ARE TRULY AN ARTISTIC SAINT.

+2 for drawing this much ire out of ftw, who has only ever made positive comments to my knowledge.

There's a big difference between Thomas "Painter of Light" Kinkade and the Dutch "Masters of Light," that's for sure. Kinkade is a hack.

Oh Bob, you're thinking of REUBEN Kincaid...

Thomas Kinkade is a pretentious piece of shit that's completely mediocre at painting. So many artists are so much more amazing with light than Thomas Kinkade that it's disturbing that he wouldn't get lynched for claiming to be the "painter of light".
===========================================
Then it's really going to piss you off that
1) He's dead and can't be lynched
2) "Painter of Light" is copyrighted - rivalled in stupidity only by "Ready to Rumble" (oh shit am I going to get sued now?)
---------------------
what the hell makes you think he's dead? he's still churning out canvas-feces as much as before.
=====================
From his website:
Thomas Kinkade is America's most collected living artist.
He fucking sucks.

It wouldn't even be so bad if Kinkade greyed it down a little.. he should really stop painting cottages though. Who the hell wants a thousand pictures of someone else's home in their home?
A lifetime supply of plus two's to anyone who can tell me where "But I need those baskets back" came from (without googling it).

1) Wishful thinking?
2) I know. What a bastard. You should see his old stuff. It looks like real art. Back in the 80's, before he was an asshole. I think he was my age then. I hope when I'm 40-something, that I don't turn into a mindless loser.

And I demand that APW gets cancelled due to lack of interest.
