They used a Kinkade screensaver at the office, for about a year. That is when I developed a first class distaste for his crap.

Edgar, I think the only item that has not been adorned up by a Kincaid image is a condom.
BBB
The third on the top left is not a condom, thats a Roto-Rooter
And I always thought it was on the bottom row, fourth to the left.
How does that saying go? My rooter is better than yours?
That's it, root for yourself c.i.
I've always wanted a Kinkade toilet seat so I could miss when I pee.
All this deserved abuse is music to my ears.
I had to bite my tongue when I surveyed that house full of nothing, and I mean nothing, but Kinkade sticky sweet, false sentimentality. If any flies got into the house, they wouldn't have a chance.
I'm told doctors proscribe Kincaid for their diabetic patients. The reason's obvious.
Yeah, that would be coma city..
I've sometime left down my guard and found one of his images tugging at my heart. I'm sure that's more like a Mayan priest ready for the cllimax of a sacrifice.
I'm happy to report, I've never been moved by any of his paintings. My nephew bought a whole slew of them for his dental office, but I didn't say anything to offend him.
It's really not art one can sink their teeth into.
I never considered tham as "art;" more like posters to be discarded.
They look like greeting cards to me.
He couldn't make it trying to make money in the commercial market of greeting cards, etc. This is a neverending story. Now we have artists who do photorealism from the advertising market painting bottles of wine and people gobble them up at a ridiculous markup. It's fad art even if it lasts a decade and just proves, once again, that you can almost always count on making a buck by underestimating the intelligence of the American public. (A paraphrase of another famous Mencken quote).
Barnum had it right a long time ago: he said, "there's a sucker born every minute."
Barnum is the man who commissioned the huge CinemaScope painting of the crucifixion of Christ to draw in the public who paid admission to see it. It was painted by a billboard artist. It's now in Forest Lawn, the Disneyland of Death.
