But I wish someone would explain to me WHY it's SO BAD. I don't see it as anything special, but I don't see it as vile. Someone tell me how to think about this!

or something.

That, to me, is the dominant reason why the painting is bad. But there's also the twee factor.

Catch of what? It's not a photoshop tragedy; he's simply standing outside behind one of his giant horrible canvases, attempting to give the impression that he paints these horrors "from life."

It's as if Kinkade fans haven't developed emotionally beyond grade school. I imagine they're doll collectors as well.

In all fairness to yourself, misslinda, those were completely suspecting grandmas. If you had done a series of Christmas cards depicting dead-eyed Egon Schiele cadavers with wreathes like nooses around their necks, well THAT would be unsuspecting.
And also, I've drawn dumb crap for money and I've worked at grocery stores for money. And I'd just as soon be drawing disposable fluff than standing at a cash register 9 times out of 10.

The Los Angeles Times has reported that some of Kinkade's former colleagues, employees, and even collectors of his work say that he has a long history of cursing and heckling other artists and performers. The Times further reported that he openly groped a woman's breasts at a South Bend, Indiana sales event, and mentioned his proclivity for ritual territory marking through urination, once relieving himself on a Winnie the Pooh figure at a Disney site while saying "This one's for you, Walt".Kinkade has denied some of the allegations, and accepted and apologized for others.
In 2006 John Dandois, Media Arts Group executive, recounted a story that on one occasion ("about six years ago") Kinkade became drunk at a Siegfried and Roy magic show in Las Vegas and began shouting "Codpiece! Codpiece!" at the performers. Eventually he was calmed by his mother. Dandois also said of Kinkade, "Thom would be fine, he would be drinking, and then all of a sudden, you couldn't tell where the boundary was, and then he became very incoherent, and he would start cussing and doing a lot of weird stuff."

"He would start making these...things. I guess you'd say they were paintings. God, it was so terrible, he'd be talking about selling them to people and becoming a big famous artist. We'd always make the children leave the room...what's that you say? Oh...Damn."
