So you would think that would include the many Kinkade masterpieces?!

EDIT: I just checked the online site and several additional copies of my favorite, "Snow Fairies on Skis" are available for LESS THAN WE PAID!!! WTF!

Fuck off with your crap art, and don't come back.

Well said

I recently saw this gem after being drug through a mall. You gotta admit that he knows his audience:

I searched "thomas kinkade jail" and found this gem of an article (read last paragraph):
http://www.artinfo.com/news/story/36...drunk-driving/

While he's never landed in the clink before, debauched naughtiness is nothing new for the artist: a 2006 Los Angeles Times article describes "incidents in which an allegedly drunken Kinkade heckled illusionists Siegfried and Roy; cursed a former employee's wife who came to his side when he fell off a barstool; fondled a startled woman's breasts at a signing party; and urinated on a Winnie the Pooh figure at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim." During that last act of indecency, the artist reportedly exclaimed the immortal lines, "This one's for you, Walt."

My opinion of Kinkade has done a complete 180...sounds like a fun guy to party with after all.

Hey....we had the orange shag carpeting, avocado-green fridge and even the matching Brady Bunch avocado wall double ovens....and we had the brown wood paneling in the game room. 'Cept the table there wasn't a wagon-wheel table, though, 'cause then we would have needed those weird upholstered Naugahyde round chairs with the rounded brass tacks.....so we had a nifty ship's wheel under glass table instead and bean bags that stuck to your skin.

Of course that was 1973....when tackiness was the height of fashion.

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot about the Intercoms ! We had intercoms throughout the house. That was big back then. Like you couldn't walk 30 feet a couple rooms away to ask someone if they wanted potato chips with their bologna sandwich?

That shit is amazing I don't care what you think. Thomas Kincade is a troll too. We're all too dumb to understand it.

He should do a jugalo piece. Holy hell that'd be a cash cow.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder. say what you will about his artwork, but his pieces make me smile and feel good, and i think that's what's most important. if I lose money on them, so be it.

How Did I Miss This Thread Before?

Wow. For all those of you mags who consider yourselves superior to the Epic folk I have to say the following. Just the fact that this thread exists on TGR, and that fellow mags defend (and, nay, even appreciate) Kinkade's art blows all the cool right out of you. I never thought that maggots and great-grandmothers had anything in common.

Okay, maybe it's the Dewar's speaking, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I agree. Pathetic to think that this thread has been alive - in Ski & Snowboard no less - for over 6 years.

wow this thread is pure twilight zone shit, i love it.

I have no idea who this 'artist' is but i instantly recognized his style. Always figured those paintings were from random 1st year starving art students from the 50s. but neigh, they are the vision of one, truly crappy, unfathomably popular dude, who apparently is actually a party animal who can hang.

TGR FTW

Joke's on you, unless this is the elusive double-troll. That happened once when AlpineZone posted in an Obernhard Franz thread. A piece of TGR was sucked into a vortex that day.

So are you laughing? Which bank did you go to? Or did the bank laugh at you when you got there?

Friend of mine put all his money into Dali prints--figured he'd cash in when Dali died. So did the many thousands of other people who bought them. How do you think that worked out?
