If I sold as much schlock as this guy and made as much money as he has selling this crappola and calling it 'art' I would have to be drunk 24/7. I don't blame him.

Anyone who invests in Kincaide Art thinking it will go up is a Fool who is soon parted with their money.

Sorry, but anyone who buys this stuff should hang it next to their "Velvet Elvis" Circa Tijuana B.C,
1978

His paintings hang in one of twenty US homes, and this is the first time I ever heard of this guy. But the painting does look sort of familiar from somewhere or other:

No self-respecting conservative would have one. Pure New Age.

Probably a lot of those would-be investors already lost their money on Beanie Babies.

You mean my glow in the dark Elvis tapestry I've been coveting all these years is worthless? Damn you!

Does anyone ever think like me and think "If I really did have a house that close to a creek and if it ever rained more than 1 inch my house would flood"?

I guess my art appreciation is not as developed as my common sense.

What do you have hanging in your living room?
Is it a Campbell's Soup can?

I told my wife this several years ago when the office gals she worked with started snatching this crap up. I got her a Thomas Kincaid screen saver instead and she uses it to this day. I cringe every time I see it.

Maybe you've seen it on a greeting card,

or a calendar,

or a coffee mug,

or a print,

or a t-shirt.

All limited edition*!
