Comparing these to a movie is not the most accurate comparison because painting one nice picture is somewhat easier than painting over a hundred thousand, each one coming together to form a 120 minute film.
...lets call em an obsessive kinda-accurate well crafted visual fan fiction. The manifestiation of the feeling you had a a kid wheb the movie ended and you felt sad about the fact that it ended...
Load More Replies...They do actually sell them as jigsaws! I've done a few of them and they are gorgeous! I think they're on amazon, but I've gotten mine at Walmart
Load More Replies...I guess this explains why it looks like Disney characters photoshopped into Kinkade paintings, cause that is what they are. Not really very imaginative.
I wish he portrays Hunchback of Notre Dame and Hercules as well. Two of the most entertaining and underrated Disney movies with incredible characters.
A popular artist but not critically well thought of. I find them saccharine or cloyingly sweet where the original Disney images were not.
I read about that as well. It was actually quite tragic in a way. I don't much care for Kinkade's artistic style (I do quite like the little mermaid print though).
Load More Replies...All of these paintings look so magical! I wish I could go into them and meet my fictional friends.
Amazing talent! To say "good job" would be an understatement. Do me a favor and lend me some of that skill and patience, huh? :D
This artist was accused of urinating all over a poo bear statue at Disney world.
