I am SO SICK of going into the homes of reasonably nice people and finding some piece of shit by that incompetent asshole Thomas Kinkade on the wall. His work SUCKS. SUCKS. SUCKS. SUCKS. And then it SUCKS SOME MORE. There are no color relationships, form or space; nothing but boring atmosphere and trite subjects, executed poorly on a flat surface. It’s art in the sense that ramen is fine cuisine, in the sense that you’d actually want to eat the house brand potpie from Aldi. If you can’t see how awful Kinkade’s work is, spend a little time in an ART MUSEUM. Pick a century, any century. I don’t think he even does the work himself, I think it’s little Asian kids on an assembly line, each with a brush of a different color. If I pull up in your driveway and spot that crap work by asswipe Kinkade in your house, I’m just gonna turn around and go home. Same goes for that idiot Terry Redlin. ---

No. Ramen is wonderful. It’s cheap and it’s tasty. Kinkaid is expensive and shitty. See the difference? 😃 ---

[A LINK](http://www.onlineartmall.com/limited/thomaskinkade/main.cgi) for the uninitiated. For what it’s worth, I agree with you. They’re a little too sentimental for my tastes, and I’ve always considered them to be more like illustrations than actual pieces of artwork. Silly distinction perhaps, but then nobody ever said I was a reasonable soul… ---

Ohhhh, how I have longed to hear those words cried from every rooftop! How deep my desire to take EVERY, (and I mean every last little freakin’ piece of shit) Kinkade puke splattered nightmare and shove it down the pie tube of every pretentious YAWN of a dill hole. Bless you, oh, bless you!! ---

Not intended as a slur - from what I’ve heard it’s factual (although I can’t prove it). Certainly nothing of which to be proud. I don’t think I could have referenced children w/out giving some kind of location. ---

I think of Thomas Kinkade in relation to art the same way I think of feel-good glurge in relation to literature. I don’t like it. I realize it appeals to some, and that’s fine, but don’t show it to me, or I’ll tell you what I think of it. And it’s not something you’re going to want to hear after spending all that money. But I swear to god, if I hear one more goddamn thing about the “Painter of Light”, there will be bloodshed. On preview: I didn’t think that the ‘Asian’ reference was a racial slur, **Lib**. I thought it was more of a reference to sweatshops and such. I mean, I don’t think **fessie** was saying that Asian kids are horrible painters. ---

How do you think I feel? The pontificating git’s [manufacturing](http://www.mediaarts.com/) center (note: not studio) is in my hometown. Every now and then I see that this place is looking for a “master highligher” to help produce the color-by-number paintings. To think my mom spent thousands of dollars on this asshole’s trash. ---

Every time we walk by the Thomas Kinkade store in our local mall I say “Hack.” Actually, roommate says it sounds like I’m trying to hack up a hairball. And that pretty much sums the situation up for me. ---

I can practically smell the evil from my bedroom window. My g/f went there recently to pick an employment application for her lazy-ass brother and she said she saw “The Man” himself with what appearred to be his wife. She said everyone in the front office stopped talking, working, breathing as he passed through. Freaked her out…She came home and literally had to shower she felt so unclean.
