How big did you get it printed out? My camera is 4.1 MP, but I've never printed anything larger than 20x30 out, so I didn't know how clear it would be.

I only got an 11.5 x 14 but it came out super clear. I am sure it would have still looked good at twice that size but certainly not as sharp. It was also pretty reasonably priced as i recall because I shopped around and some of the places were wicked expensive in comparison.

I think I'm going to try some 20x 30 or bigger shots of k-peak I have that are pretty hi-res.

I had ingonorrhea once- it's not so bad, except that it makes you buy incredibly ugly, overpriced "artwork."

Plus my dick fell off.

Celebrate over on Gapicski instead... if you're going to troll, don't jump on the bandwagon of someone else. That's just unoriginal and pathetic.

I don't know guys - I could really see a 1960's Keene "Big-Eyed" poodle on skis painting in my bathroom.

Especially if I could find one in black velvet.

**Schmear** · 11-05-2005, 11:57 PM

I just painted this little ditty. What do you think? It's mostly white because it's snowing in the background.

I had never heard of the guy or seen any of his art, so i googled some reviews, here is an excerpt from one I really liked:

"It is the pervasive acceptance of and clamor for the materialistic manifestations of Kinkade's rather limited artistic vision—the sanctification, if you will, of his penchant for depopulated and nonsensical rural scenery—that serves to only increase the hair-lifting horror that lurks beneath his sun-dappled streams and glowing rustic manses.

Yes, horror. Horror of the worst kind, the horror wrought from juxtaposing innocuous items or idyllic surroundings with sudden ghastly consequences. The kind of thought-erasing horror that comes from watching a huge cylindrical brush used in an automatic car wash smash through your windshield. The kind of throat-parching, temple-pounding, sweaty-knees horror that comes from watching the stitched simpleton's smile on a Raggedy Ann doll suddenly gape open into a bloody drooling leer.

Do not misunderstand me, here. Kinkade's art does not evoke Clown Fear, or Marionette Fear, or Dick Cheney Fear, or Disney Audio-Animatronic Fear—I'm talking about that Mother of All Fears: When Paradise Turns into Hell.

For this Halloween, if you want to scare the dickens out of discerning adults and impressionable children, forget about the works of Poe, King, or Koontz.

Just take a good look at the artwork of Thomas Kinkade.

Upon close examination, Kinkade's rural dystopias appear to possess the following common themes:

1) Hellish glow seen emanating from every closed window to every sealed-up cottage, clocktower, inn, horse barn, church, etc. All of Kinkade's structures seem consumed from within by raging infernos. What might be laughed off as artistic excess suddenly trickles icily down your spine when you realize that Kinkade's rustic incinerators are operating at full tilt regardless of the time of day, prevailing weather conditions, and the particular season depicted in the painting!
2) All of his structures bear multiple chimneys that are exhaling thin, vertically-stretched spires of exhaust smoke which are indicative of extremely hot fires within, and of virtually no air movement without. Again, these chimneys are operating in all seasons and weather conditions. Why are the fires burning so hotly all the time? What's cooking? You don't want to know!
3) There is an inexplicable absence of people, despite the presence of livestock, abandoned agricultural implements, raging chimney fires, what have you. In Kinkade's peaceful landscapes, it seems as if a sort of aestheticically-directed neutron bomb had detonated, leaving standing only the charming buildings, bucolic beasts and majestic landscape

There is something terrible going on in these paintings."

I take it this guy pushes out the limited edition prints and people buy them up cause the last set went way up in value. The market for this stuff will eventually crash.
