Featured Stuck in Thomas Kinkade hell!

I'd go Podunk rather than the above, which has intimations (ahem) of a rather "interesting" bordello in American dialect.(LOL)

 

Are these prints or original paintings? I remember reading that the originals still hold some value compared to the prints.

 

As far as I can tell they are re-makings but they are in the original medium from what I understand. I've found a dealer not too far from me that hopefully will be interested in buying them in a lot and doing with them as they see fit.

 

Awww... who could resist Bambi's First Year?

 

I watched an interview with Kinkead on tv once. He had a huge stack of paintings on the floor next to him. As he talked, he had a marker in his hand and he would sign the back of each painting and move it to a pile on the other side. As a REAL artist, I had to gag. Sorry, but I can't help that reaction. As an artist who has to keep my day job just to pay the bills, I have to admire his ability to find a niche market and sell the heck out of it.

 

I will say,gag me though it does,I did see some of his original oil paintings and really,they werent terribly repulsive. A little saccahrin to be sure,but in oils they do have a certain "look".

 

The prints meanwhile, might be best used on the target range?

 

Over the years we have donated this type of stuff to various silent auctions. If in good condition they will always bring a decent price, generally more than any other type of sale, and of course you help someone out.
