BINGO! If this were a TV gameshow, you'd be leaving having won the grand fucking prize (then you could also go home and make TCD your "official" indentured servant too).



Hands-down the whole Kinkade phenomenon has always completely straight-up boggled my fucking mind. When I first heard about him and what his "studios" do years ago I was all, "WTF?" Seriously? Then I busted out laughing. That's some ugly shit IMO but as with ALL art to each purveryor their own taste but I don't really like to tolerate too much high-horsing that implies only "pretentious" or po-mo poseur art buyers are the only ones who "waste" their money making some assholes rich. Falling prey (and I use "prey" for lack of a better term beccause ultimately people shouldn't feel like they were victims of jack shit if they love what they bought) to bullshit art runs across the socio-economic scale in this country. From the commericials for those weekend "art liquidation" sales in bad hotels to utter bullshit like Kinkade to bad poseur, supposed "High" art. And don't even get me started on Capidomonte "porcelain" peoples! LOL

Please do get started! Raised around all those Italians I can tell you that everyone has that stuff prominently displayed. I'm having some pretty vivid flashbacks right now. Now that stuff is old people art style.

Yeah, but Kinkade's got nothing on Geddes.



I know it's a different medium but I think I should put together a coffee table book (or website) called, "Art White People Buy"

That's actually a pretty fucking hysterical and awesome title and concept. And you totally should think about following up on something like this---you never know what it could all morph into! I would of course expect a freebie copy BUT you have my word that if I wasn't one of your cyber buds that is something I would TOTALLY throw coin at anyway.

Oh, man! I would bet sweet Canadian dollars that the Nativity displays were front and center this past December! Am I right? LOL

First piece in that book would be a baby blue canvase.

Ann Geddes wins the award for bad photography. I guess the photography is technically sound, it's just creepy. Creepy flower babies.



White people would buy that book.

But any who... what are the blue dogs? ::duck and cover::

I don't think anyone replied to this, so I present to you the blue dogs

[the canadian dream]

LOL Ymono. That's an awsome idea for a book. I too would buy that..or have someone buy it for me.

 

[bookjones]

It would be a fitting "dedication" or hommage to IHN IMO. Also, he couldn't go with velvet art as that is universal and spans all the races---everybody loves their asses some velvet art! Whites, blacks, hispanics, asians. . .THAT is the true and proven medium for the masses not painterly shit.

 

[the canadian dream]

I would love a velvet elvis..have always wanted one and despite the millions out there they are extremely difficult to find and those who have them never let them go.





Also i would like to declare that one of my favorite art pieces of all times is indeed dogs playing poker. Honestly who doesn't love that amazing work? It's brilliant and we all know it.

Wow.. .just wow. Don't know what else to say.

Pip farting on a snare drum.

 

[the canadian dream]

Oh and here is proof i did a blue canvas painting.

 

[bookjones]

Hey, if Chistian Lander could spin a mini-hipster empire from Stuff White People Like (and lord knows *I* consumed BOTH books and the blog before the books. . .not to laugh *at* you friends but. . .actually, yeah to laugh *at* you) then I think Ymono should give some serious thought to a "Art White People Like" concept. But he'd do best to try to include all the arts and crafts to make sure that he got in jewelry smithing because really, Black Hills gold is the shiznit! That stuff KILLS me every time I see it on TV.

 

[bookjones]

Oh and here is proof i did a blue canvas painting.

Sellout.

 

[MassHavoc]

I could paint that shit. I bet you were drunk.

 

[bookjones]

Did everyone check out the newest series for Blue Dog? The "Swamp Dogs"? Lovely.

And so reasonable with the $15K start prices. Sighs. A girl can dream. . .

 

[The Mule]

Sellout.

HA,HA,HA,HA!



Next thing he's going to set up a team of young apprentices to paint his work for him!

 

[the canadian dream]

i dont like you people...and by you people I mean...you people.

 

[The Mule]

I know I kid, but you're not a sell out. Unless you have and we're now rich in which case, way to go, you loveable sell out!

Eh, she just wants some dresses. . .and an iPad. . .and some kittens. I wouldn't read too much into her "pumping your tires" Timmy.
