I'm an artist also.
I hate his work.
They remind me of the "black light" posters which were popular with 13-yr. old girls in the late 70's and early 80's. The only thing missing in each of his paintings is a unicorn.
I read one comment on his paintings which said they depicted what the world would look like if everyone was on Prozac.
I don't deny, however, that he does have a talent.
A unicorn!! lol
My favorite comment about him came in a review of Lord of the Rings. The reviewer described the scene at Elrond's house as (and I'm paraphrasing) "Like a Thomas Kinkade painting, only good".
