If I never see another painting of a quaint cottage, I’ll die a satisfied woman.
This guy is some kind of marketing genius. Who the hell adds a job description to their name like that? George, slayer of dragons. Cranky, poster of inane tripe. He now has his own retail outlets. That’s right, entire “galleries” dedicated to selling just his stuff. I also saw that he has a book out. Yes, just because this guy can paint bestsellers, that qualifies him to write homilies about life and living.
Painter of Light my ass. Vermeer, maybe. Not Kinkade.
P.S. I took all the original “fucks” out of that post, in deference to another thread, and it came out as a mild whine instead of the rant I truly feel. Who knew one could loathe airy little paintings this much?
Mayhpa Thomas Kinkade could be on the Limp Bizkit tour bus when the aforementioned fireball that was the Korn plane lands on it?
Thankfully, I have no idea who Thomas Kincade is, Cranky. But I agree with you wholeheartedly about Limp Bizkit and Korn. THAT gave me a big grin. And I say next time, leave all the “fucks” in and add a few more for good measure. This IS the pit, after all!
KINKADE! KINK-fucking-ADE!CrankyAsAnOldMan spelled it correctly where do you get off changing the spelling?
I am so sick of people mispelling my name that i will porobably yell at the next salesjerk that misspells it back at me. i say slowly and clearly, k i n k a d e and then they make up their own spelling or correct me! “No, you mean Kincade.” or one of the other assinine spellings they make up.
CrankyAsAnOldMan, I pretty much agree with your rant. One thing i like about his paintings is he uses different colors than most trite painters.
Thomas KInkade painter of light…kiss my mother fucking ass.
What the asshole does is paint a goddamn cottage scene…has a print made of the painting. Ships a million of these to his “studio” which is filled with his “apprentices” who then take paint, touch up, embellish and highlight the “light” in the paining. Then he calls the crap hand painted originals. BULLSHIT!
but I guess , how much “original art” can you buy for a couple of hundred bucks.
No talent, soulless, uninspired marketing genius that he is, Mr. Thomas Fucking! KinKade has managed to become rich by convincing people that the best art is a vapid and devoid of challenge.
I have mentioned in another post that one time my mom’s friend fixed something the matter with my computer. She brought along a Thomas Kinkade disk and installed it on MY computer.
So I turn it on and up pops TK’s crap. If that is not bad enough, each picture as accompanied by a BIBLE QUOTE!!
gasping with anger as I type
I’m agnostic! I think the Bible is bullshit! Who would do this to me?
My own mother.
25 revolving TK paintings with Bible quotes. Fuck me in the ear with sandpaper cause now I am in hell.
Luckily, I deleted them right away. Never truly forgave my mom for that one.
I was going to post the link to his web site, but that’s too easy. Here, my friends, is sure proof that the devil has arrived to convert the masses: The LA-Z-BOY Thomas Kinkade Collection
Kinkade is all right. At least I can say to myself, “I could never paint as well as that.” Some of these painters are lucky some putz paid cash money for their “art.” “Red circle on a blue background.”
