Hasn't this already gone around?
BTW, I think his stuff is pure CRAP.

He reminds me too much of a dolt like Frank "I PROTEST" Bitchling.

How can 10 million Americans have a Kinkade Painting in their
home...perhaps a print...but a painting?

More importantly, why WOULD 10 million Americans have a Kinkade
painting in their homes? :)
Sometimes it seems that there is a vast conspiracy -- neither
right-wing or left-wing, but dull-wing -- between Kinkade,
Disney and the MPAA to infantilize every American.
perhaps a print...but a painting?
The tally no doubt includes all Thomas Kinkade paintings,
prints, calendars, oven mitts, coasters and condoms.

Actually there is some of his stuff even I like...yes I know it is
supposed to be all Kitch by the Arts establishment, but I really do
like San Francisco,Late Afternoon In Union Square as well as a few
others. However, the arts establishment...they occasionally sponsor
some of the pretentous Dada crap that I recently saw at The Baltimore
Museum of Art...most notably rotten fruit with colored thread sewn
throught it.
Give the choice of the two...I'll take Kinkade.

I was in a galllery a few years ago and saw a Kinkade that I really
thought beautiful. I think it was an early work. (Before he hit that
magic "formula." You know... cottages and flowers and mist.) It was
of the streets of Paris and was all streetlights and fog and shining
reflections of buildings. I really wanted it. Wish I'd bought it. He
wasn't always the poster boy for Mediocre Mass Media.

I don't think it's "infantalizing" so much as over-marketing. Success
breeds success and we Americans have a real love of success. Success
then feeds upon itself until it consumes us all and makes itself
ubiquitous and, ultimately, irrelevant and dull.
Until the next success takes hold. (All you have to do is look at the
state of American television. There are no less than three new series
this fall that mimic the success of "24" in that they serialize a
certain period of time. Usually a day. It's no wonder I cancelled my
DirecTV and am puttng the 50 bucks a month into a savings account.
Frankly, I don't even miss it.)

Easy. He's got a whole stable of people kicking out the paintings. He
says they're all originals by him since he, supposedly, adds a brush
stroke or two and signs them.

Maybe he's pulling an "Elvis": Kinkade lets a few droplets of
his perspiration land on the painting, and that suffices to make
it a collector's item.

I've heard that he paints a stroke or two on paintings so it's
'officially a Kinkade painting', but 10 million seems way too high
even if that's what he does.

Maybe he stands by a conveyor belt, holding the brush as prints whiz by?

Old news, and Kinky's a one-trick pony.
