After reading all of the great information on Thomas Kinkade and viewing many of his artistic ways I have decided that he should not be viewed as the most collected living artist. I think that if people knew how Kinkade mass printed his paintings that people would be much less wanting to pay the large amounts of money for his paintings. I think that this is very disrespectful to all of his buyers and very unfair. All that Kinkade cares about is making as much money as possible, which makes his very rude to his fans.
He has been investigated by the FBI and is known to use other artist for his money making business. He has other artist that he hires to apply paint to prints in order to make reproduction of his original work. This is horrible because this takes no artistic talent at all, it is others talent. On average one in ten homes feature a Kinkade painting. The really upsetting thing about this is that he has touched almost NONE of them!!! This is so unfair to his fans and is a total waste of money that his buyers are spending on his paintings. His company Media Arts Group Inc. has also been investigated by the FBI for unfair dealings with Thomas Kinkade Signature Gallery Franchises. It became very obvious that Thomas Kinkade left out very very important information. Later Thomas Kinkade was found of fraud after forcing gallery owners to take extremely expensive unsalable items. This makes him a very unrespectable artist.
Not only does he not follow the law, he has a very bad attitude. He uses Christianity as a way to take advantage of his buyers. How is this right? How can someone who uses Christianity be looked upon as respectable? This has got to be one of the most wrong things about him in all of the readings. All that Kinkade cares about is making the most money that he can. The fact that he has involved religion in his work has gotten many people involved. Thomas Kinkade has been in trouble with fraud and many other things. This has made him very wealthy, but I don’t get how he could be happy with himself knowing all the things that he has done wrong. I hope that one day he realizes how wrong he is and gets knocked into shape! One of these days he will pay for all of his wrong doing. And hopefully he will lose many of his customers so that he will have to suffer with all of his wrong doing.

I had to highlight the text in your blog in order to read it. I'm not a master hightlighter, but in a pinch I know how to make invisible ink visible. You may want to go back and change the color of your text.
I can tell from what you wrote that you have a low opinion of Thomas Kinkade and his business practices, but what do you think of his artwork?
