4. How the hell is this guy bankrupt?
Does not compute. Livin' large, I guess. The bigger they are, the harder they fall?

8. I used to work in a frame store
and we dreaded it when customers breathlessly pulled their Kinkade prints out of elaborate folders of archival paper and glassine. They came with a COA that noted Kinkade left a little of his DNA on every print. (I don't know if he bled on them or brushed his teeth over them or what.) You'd have thought they were bringing in the Magna Carta. Only the best, most expensive materials would do for these folks -- museum glass, acid-free mats, blah blah blah. They thought they'd purchased something of real value rather than oversized greeting card art.

I much preferred framing little kids' drawings. At least they had some real heart and soul in them.

13. That's so funny - I had the same reaction as a framer!

Gah, the suburban mom's acting like their Kinkade prints were Michelangelo originals when they were so obviously pap. Now I work in a suburban library and blanch every time I have to shelve one of his books. Shallow and soulless and Bland America loves him! :puke:

11. This guy's "art"
looks like the stuff that hangs in motels. When my sister told me she liked his stuff, I could not speak. It was like she told me she was collecting paintings on velvet.

29. You've gone too far! My velvet Elvis looks great over my fireplace!
And my pink flamingos in the front yard go great with my painted car tire we use as a swing.

32. That shirt reminds me of those tiled urinals they have in some Mexican
restaurants.

Although the tiled urinals have a better design.
