The seashell lamp is kinda cool
in a horrifying sort of way...I'd put it out for Hallowe'en...maybe with the bat lamp too...yeah...and put them on the bloody table with the devil's chair! And then set off the whole ensemble with that ghastly floral and doily monstrosity that Mike Mozart posted...or maybe the panther sofa? Oh! I am in a gothically induced quandry!

Paint the light, Thomas! PAINT THE LIGHT!
From Thomas Kinkade's Wikipedia entry:
"He is self described as "Thomas Kinkade, Painter of Light" (a trademarked phrase), and as "America's most-collected living artist...
...Media Arts, the publicly-traded company that licenses and sells Kinkade's products, claims that 1 in 20 homes in the U.S. feature some form of Thomas Kinkade?s art....
...A self-produced movie about Kinkade, Thomas Kinkade's Christmas Cottage, was released on DVD in late November 2008. The semi-autobiographical story looks at the motivation and inspiration behind his most popular painting, The Christmas Cottage. Jared Padalecki plays Kinkade and Marcia Gay Harden plays his mother. Peter O'Toole plays young Kinkade's mentor, who tells him "Paint the light, Thomas! PAINT THE LIGHT!".

Each
gallery that sells Kinkade has someone on staff who "finishes" the print for the customer with some hand-applied paint -- a few blossoms in the foreground, perhaps -- so that the print is a "unique art object" (my quotes). These "artists" are presumably trained at the Kinkade factory. . .
WHC, I am reminded of a Client Introduction Video at a local "chain" chiropractic salon, in which Peter Graves (another old Hollywood whore ?) points to giant model vertebrae. . .)

I remember a Kinkade...
I remember a Kinkade collector being interviewed on television, explaining that Kinkade was better than Picasso because when you look at a Kinkade you can imagine all the people living inside those cozy cottages, gathering in front of the fireplace at night to tell stories, and drink steaming mugs of hot cocoa.

How can one claim to be a "collector" of an "artist" who so brazenly mass-markets himself....

A Christmas Cottage now available on DVD!
Capra's 'It's a Wonderful Life' may just be displaced.

Movie?
Jesus, Joseph and Mary! Who knew there was a Kinkade movie? Painter of darkness and banality.

SDR-
The oldest trick in the book-- hand painting a few flourishes onto a mass-produced item, so it can be called "hand-painted" on a technicality. I bet they intentionally mislead the rubes into believing they're buying originals.
You've almost got to admire Kinkade-- he knows the taste and intelligence of his customer. Perhaps he'll run for political office, soon.

A few people collect art for...
A few people collect art for its own sake, but many only appreciate a painting for what is portrayed in it. A duck hunter might collect paintings of ducks, and fancy himself as being a lover of art, when in actuality all he really loves is duck hunting. Kinkade collectors just love the cozy cottages, and all the down-homey conservative values that go along with what Kinkade depicts. Kinkade is more like a purveyor/illustrator of a certain socio-political-religious point of view than he is an artist. He knows who his market is (and it is safe to say it is not the folks here). His only regret is that he cannot paint like he does and be Sarah Palin at the same time, since then he might aspire to rule the world (or at least its darkest and most sinister nether regions).

Thomas Kinkade, the later years
Thomas Kinkade, here in a recent self portrait, shows all the skill and talent. Each brushstroke caresses the canvas, each Ray of light, a gift from god above, guiding Tom's willing fingers.
