Thomas Kincade is dead.

What a tool.

Thomas Kinkade- Painter of Shite

Snooze. As an artist, I don't consider him an artist.

And I thought the Fundies were bad, fucking artists are the biggest hypocrites of them all.

Roger_That · 2012-04-07 15:15:23

I'm no hypocrite. He's in the same class as Bob Ross.

Yes, but a VERY rich tool / non-artist. +$100M / year.

I spent a summer working at the Bohemian Club about five years ago. I'd much rather spend my time around bankers with too much money than a talentless asswipe like Kincaid. He created nothing, he leaves nothing.

His artwork, being in countless doctor's waiting rooms, is at the root of the health care crsisis.

He preyed on Evangelical Christians, much as Bernie Madoff preyed on Jews, and several multi-level shysters prey on Mormons. Such monsters do incredible damage in the lives of people who can’t imagine that someone of their faith/ethnicity would betray them in such a cynical and calculated manner. I suspect his ill-gotten money will ruin the lives of his wife and daughters.

So is his zombie corpse going to be hoofing it around on Monday?

I never heard about the gallery scam. He seemed like such a nice Christian businessman.

Thanks to current copyright laws they'll benefit for something like a hundred years. They'll probably be able pass that down to their kids, too. On the other hand, family infighting might set in and they may contest the will. There's a happy thought.

I'm assuming they didn't find a rope around his neck. So, in that case, even if he died from a heart attack while masturbating, it would be declared natural causes.
