You know, I won't go through all the details of our sour little experience with Kincade's little ponzi scam (after all, we just massively overpaid for a few nice but basically worthless prints, which OBTW were sold via massive misrepresentation as to their future value by his galeries);
all I will say is: "If it true, it couldn't have happened to a nicer fellow!"
Kincade basically figured out a legal way to "print money" by charging hundreds of dollars for worthless prints of his hackwork. But it looks like he might have gotten a bit too greedy.
This man is the QUINTESSENTIAL example of a "Born Again FAKER!". One of his prints (circa 1994) came with a videotape where he showed his style, and talked about God and how he was using his art to promote His Kingdom - and then in the next scene he briefly displayed about a half dozen classic cars from his "collection" hobby.
On top of that he is apparently also a foul-mouthed drunk according to newsreports from about a year ago.
He is just a fat, disgusting, low-talent, good-for-nothing, fake Christian flim-flam artist (ah, there is a "talent" that he was really good at - for a while anyhow).
And that's my opinion, and if you don't like it, I feel sorry for you because it means that he's still got the wool pulled over your eyes.
See my post #184. Succinctly says all there is to say about this topic.
Clarify.
I own not a single Kinkade.
I am ambivalent to him.
I posted the artwork as an example so people would know who the article is about.
