I told her "I'd rather work at McDonald's than sell Satan's art."

He's also the one who churns out so many "originals" in order to pimp up his bank juice that he has three different levels of "original". 1. The Limited Edition Print Just prints of his original oil/watercolor painting, but he signs the bottom 2. The Hand-Accented LE Yet again this is a print of his work. But he goes back through and does "Accent painting" with the actual oil paint. A light here, a swan there. 3. The PissNVeins model If you want a true certified Kinkade snoriginal, you can pay hundreds of thou for one of these. If you ever doubt it's authenticity you can have someone scrape off a bit of the paint and have it tested. Kinkade mixes his own blood and urine with the paint in order to put his special mark on it.

I am not alone in my disdain for all things Kinkade. The paintings, teacups, furniture AND the subdivisions. I normally call it "trailer park art" with apologies to those people who live in trailer parks. oh wow… I am not alone in my disdain for all things Kinkade.

For the record, I don't dislike Kinkaid's paintings so much as I dislike him as a person. Thanks for the shout-out!
