This presents a new argument against God:
If a benevolent and omnipotent God exists, why does he allow this?
I’m re-enrolling in University with the intent to pick up all the apologetics classes that I can hold. This abomination shakes my faith to its core.
Wow. I love the sky–there’s sunlight, bright fireworks, some Blue Angels, a blimp, a couple of other planes, and what appear to be random flags hanging by skyhooks. Oh, I get it–the little planes are dragging flag banners. That is an impressive amount of stuff in a little piece of sky.
I believe this is what’s known as “convergence” wherein two shitty things are combined to make one incredibly shitty thing. I know that Kinkade has fallen out of favor, and sales of his “Christian” paintings have dropped off pretty dramatically. Wonder if he invested some of that money he fleeced from people into subprimes? That would explain why he’s pumping this crap out.
Not only is it ugly, that thing is scary! I mean, they’re launching fireworks with a low-level flyby of F-16s, all while a reenactment of The Blitz is occurring. :eek:
I fear for the lives of those pilots, and the safety of the crowd. I mean c’mon, there’s zeppelins. Fucking zeppelins!!

Is Kinkade a Nazi?
As an art historian, I must say. . . that is fucking awesome and makes my day. How very very awful. I am so pleased in a very perverse way.
No you are seeing it all wrong
The f-16s are bombing the race track in advance of sending in the troops 
kinda like D-Day
It’s amazing that with so much colour, so much filling the frame, and the subject matter being an action-packed sport, it nevertheless completely lacks any energy or excitement whatsoever.
Astonishing feat.
Oh god, that is too fucking funny. I esp. like the teeny weeny nightlight version in the ornate frame… Hm, wonder who on my list deserves that for Christmas…
That’s true, even though it’s a NASCAR painting, it looks like a still-life. I guess he can’t get out of the “pseudo-calm soothing pastoral” mode even for race cars and jets. It is pretty amazing.
If you look REALLY closely, you can see Tom Cruise in one of the cars.
I LIKE IT! 
Ooh! Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!
Well, that’s a deal killer. :mad:
There are Kincaid stores here I only noticed the other day. Some of the landscapes are passable and the chocolate box winter scenes aren’t too bad but some of his paintings are abominable. The Disney collection, there’s one of a soldier that looks like it was done by an elementary school kid. Good lord, how did he become so popular?
Can I get it on velvet? And that’s not Tom Cruise, it’s Elvis.
Seriously, this does not look like a Kincaid painting as much as it looks like someone making fun of Kincaid and NASCAR in one brilliant work of parody.
This style of art is known as pandering to your audience. I have relatives who are NASCAR fans and absoutely LOVE Kincaid work. The two seem to run together culturally. Somewhere, a guy carrying a Kincaid painting ran into a guy with some NASCAR product. “Hey! Y’all got your Kincaid on my NASCAR!” “Y’all got your NASCAR on my Kincaid!” And thus was this unholy alliance born. We should just be glad that the Precious Moments guy was late or else the crowd would be full of little big-eyed children.
I think this is a completely appropriate use of his skills.
Maybe he can do a portrait of Sarah, flags, fireworks, helicopters, wolves (bleeding) and God opening a door next. I’m sure it would sell like hot cakes.
Go to his website and check out the trailer for his movie.
I’m a little bit speechless.
Dear Og that makes me want to heave.
The NASCAR painting is terrible in every possible way. It defines the word “dreck.”
I’ve scraped shit off my shoe that had more artistic merit.
Yanno, I think Kinkade would make an awesome dissertation topic. I don’t think lowbrow art has been studied enough.

Gah. Death by kitsch. Thank you for making me use up yet another bottle of brain bleach.
Add Joe the Plumber and you’ve got a painting for the ages there.
The Dark Ages.
