news claimed the mass-production caused critics to say his work was tacky.
I said to Mr. LT “it wasn’t the mass production that made them say that, it was the tackiness.”
indeed.
in order to have “tackiness, mass”
one must begin with “tackiness, individual”
LOL! Tackiness and mass marketing seem to go hand in hand. But doggone it they were pretty pictures.
LOL! As soon as I saw the headline that Mr. Kinkade had passed away I thought “Bring on the snark!”
I knew I could count on you guys! :D
It’s a bit unsettling how many people are croaking in their early to mid 50s however. It’s like an unusually high number…but I may just have become oversensitive in the last decade….:P
either a) it was the boozin’ or b) being so full of shit finally took its toll.
Lol!….yes, the full of shit is taking it’s toll on a lot of celebs lately…..reaping what they sow. Or sumpin’!
Seriously, being full of shit is hard on your intestines…
I could only think of the segment “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” had of him. Every time Peter Segal would mention his name, Carl Kassel would say “Painter of Light, registered trademark.”
Heehee! WWDTM cracks me up a LOT!
I wonder if they’re having a touching vigil at the Thomas Kinkade National Archive in Monterrey, CA. I went through there on my trip of the CA coast 3 years ago, and my host and I had to circle the block about ten times to really let the implications of “National Archive” sink in. Alas, they were already closed for the day.
Alas!
I’m going to try something.

I’m glad someone posted about this – I thought about it but got distracted by other things and felt kinda bad for being so relieved by someone’s death.
