apparently he himself was a limited edition...

i used to work in a toy shop that had half an aisle of his jigsaw puzzles, what an eyesore.

i can only imagine what unspeakable thing lurches forward to take his place in the lowest common denominator 'art' market...

I didn't want to make light of his passing, but from the first time I ever saw his work until a store opened in the local mall I couldn't get past it.
Ugh and I just made an unintended bad pun.

great writeup over at dangerous minds:

http://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/low_rent_rembrandt_thomas_kinkade_r.i.p

"The Times further reported that he openly groped a woman’s breasts at a South Bend, Indiana sales event, and mentioned his proclivity for ritual territory marking through urination, once relieving himself on a Winnie the Pooh figure at the Disneyland Hotel..."

I read on Yahoo, people have been buying up everything Kinkade because now "it's going to go up in value"
