In a recent series entitled Wars on Kinkade, digital artist Jeff Bennett of Alien Artisan, decided to have a little fun with some artworks by American mass-market painter Thomas Kinkade (1958 – 2012).
While Kinkade has received criticism for the extent to which he has commercialized his art (e.g., he sells prints of his work on the QVC home shopping network), he clearly has his fans, as a Washington Post article cites one estimate that puts a Thomas Kinkade painting in one of every 20 houses (and countless hotel rooms) in America.
