This place is weird. I finally went into the Thomas Kinkade Gallery when I was at the Mall yesterday. I think his paintings are awful....mass produced flea market stuff! I saw the report on him and his empire on 60 Minutes and thought, wow, he's just exploiting a market, so good for him. Except that he sells this bad art as his own that he painted himself, which is totally false. They hire art school people to paint these, then sell them at a fantastic profit. It's just paint by numbers at a ridiculously expensive price tag, and under the cover of Christianity. How totally unChristian. The store itself in layout is ok, kinda small and packed so that they can get the most money what they're paying in rent per square foot. I have no problem that people get taken in by this "non-art" garbage, I just have a problem that this Company does it in the name of Jesus.
