His paintings are the Beanie Babies of the art world. I feel sorry for those who were tahen in by that huxter.

My favorite quote -
"But you've got to remember," he said, "I'm the idol to these women who are there. They sell my work every day, you know. They're enamored with any attention I would give them. I don't know what kind of flirting they were trying to do with me. I don't recall what was going on that night."
What an asshole. What a terrible artist.
(good businessman though)

Why don't these people sue their Lord instead? That's where their real beef is.

Just dumb...

Oh yeah, that Thomas Kinkade is a total asshat! I think I saw a photo of him with Bert on the following news site:
