I wonder if this new town’s homeowners’ association will require you to train pink flood lights on the sides of the homes, build little useless bridges going nowhere, and thatch the roofs?
On a related note, TK’s publishing company just moved their headquarters to my home town, and the “artist” himself lives only a few miles away. I was curious and checked the company’s job board and found this great opportunity:
“Master Highligher – This is an exclusive opportunity to become one of Thomas Kinkade Master Highlighters. Train to demonstrate Hand-Highlighting with oil paint at specially planned Master Highlighter events. Part-time only.”
Sure, I say we get a contingent of Dopers to take the ‘highlighting’ job (excuse me, ‘career’), then Jackson Pollock the hell out of the entire warehouse stock.

Oicu812, what about Rubens? His women looked like they could be real people. Thick waists, big behinds, medium to large breasts. Hell, if I had lived 300 years ago I’d be an artists model, and wouldn’t worry about shopping in the “Womens” section of the store. Spider Robinson, one of my favorite authors, called the “look” that is currently fashionable " a woman looking like a thirteen year old boy with plums in her vest pockets…"
And Spider is one of MY favorites as well! I absolutely LOVE the story of how he met Mary on the roof!
But, most women in this day and age will punch you if you refer to them as “Rubenesque”, or else don’t even understand the compliment. A lot of women seem to WANT to look like the hypothetical 13YO.
