Painter of Light Spreads Darkness
Thomas Kinkade, the self-proclaimed “most widely collected living U.S. artist,” is under investigation by the FBI. The feds are looking into claims that Kinkade (”The Painter of Light”) exploited his Christianity by persuading investors to open galleries before ruining them financially.
“‘These dealers became investors primarily because they were believers in faith, love, family and God, and the paintings reflect those values,’ said Joseph Ejbeh, a Rochester Hills, Mich.-based attorney.”
This news breaks my heart because just this weekend I came home from the mall with a limited edition Thomas Kinkade Biblical Figurine Cookie/Nut Combo Pack. The dealer swore the piece would double in value by the time I got home, provided I didn’t eat the cookies or nuts, of course. Now it looks like all my non-Biblical-cookie/nut-eating was for naught. Can you believe that fucking shit?
