The ovens are burning, burning...and what is that liquid seeping out from under the front door and down the walkway?!?
I can almost hear the screams of the damned as they are forced into the cauldrons.
The horror.
The horror.

Last time I checked, the only thing that could bend slate like that is the power of SATAN.

I guess he has a factory of artists that reproduce some of his originals (or maybe just add paint to reproductions?).

I've always thought they looked like Ice described-- like each little cottage is a portal to the fires of hell itself.It's idomatic, beatch.

The Glade air fresheners are sweet. Bought a set and going to keep them wrapped as collector's items. Great stocking stufers too.

I think he adds small amounts of paint to prints (what he refers to as "adding the magic" to the print). It enhances the light eminating from the pits of hell. Originally Posted by Cornholio

None of the kinkaid pictures posted remind me of skiing because they are flat, unless you are talking about cross country skiing. For some reason the mountains are so beautiful and fulfilling in person to me that I have never found art that replicates that for me. It is always old school euro type close ups of skiers which I like or mountain landscape pictures that have an unnatural etherial light that makes them look like a bible illustration. I am curious if there are any of you out there that know of a really good Ansel Adams type artist that does good mountain paintings. Shmear painter of white aside.

There are some really good Japanese woodblock prints of snow scenes. My favorite woodblock artist is Kawase Hasui. Here are a few examples of his work:
I've got this one hanging above my bed:
These photos don't really do them justice, though. I think this is true art, but to each his own, I guess.

Yup, really nice. Gotta ski Japan someday. I heard they never ski in the woods because they're afraid of their ancestors or something. Could you imagine a maggot mini over there? They'd probably run us out of the country, especially if Brett came. Originally Posted by The AD

Thomas Kincaide sucks donkey nutz. I have never seen anyone paint anything more obnoxious than his shit.
I should probably change my username to IReallyDon'tTeleMuchAnymoreDave.

Death to Kinkade. Seriously. Can't believe he has a gallery in Beaver Creek (not sure what other ski towns).

Once again, I am reminded and drawn to Kinkade for inspiration for this upcoming ski season, in fact I recently changed my desktop background to a sweet, older-style Kinkade. Heading up to Whistler this weekend and hoping one of the art galleries in the Village sell them. Tired of the gallery in downtown Seattle, and there's a salesperson there who has started to freak me out.

Several things are glaringly obvious here. Originally Posted by HankStamper

c) You're the reason we HAVE all of the crappy galleries like this in ski towns...

and e) Screw the salesperson in Seattle, you're starting to freak US out.
Solution: www.gapicski.com...
I hope you're driving down one of those snowy roads in your idyllic little town with your perfect little family, in your 'ultimate driving machine', and you miss a corner, crash straight into a Yankee Candle shop, and have your platinum-series volants rip through your in-car ski bag, straight into your temple.
