Painter Thomas Kinkade arrested near Carmel on suspicion of DUI
June 16, 2010 10:46 am
The painter Thomas Kinkade, whose mass-produced landscapes have made him one of the most-collected artists in America, has been arrested on suspicion of drunk driving.
Kinkade, 52, was pulled over outside Carmel on Friday night because his 2006 Mercedes-Benz didn't have a front license plate, said California Highway Patrol Officer Robert Lehman.
The artist smelled of alcohol, Lehman said, and he was arrested after he failed a field sobriety test. Kinkade was released from jail the next day after posting bail.
His arrest came less than two weeks after one of his companies filed for bankruptcy protection. The Chapter 11 petition was filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in San Jose in the name of Kinkade's production company, Pacific Metro of Morgan Hill, Calif.
The Placerville-born painter has spun a lucrative career since his humble beginnings selling paintings in supermarket parking lots.
A "born-again" Christian whose incandescent paintings of Americana are laden with religious themes, Kinkade's work has been praised as inspirational by some and dismissed as kitsch by art critics.
A 2006 Los Angeles Times investigation into Kinkade called into question his business practices and suggested his personal behavior belied the wholesome image on which he had built his empire. Kinkade denied those claims.

I hope everything works out for everybody, though. Maybe now his paintings can get more "real" and "street" like that http://www.art4god.com/ guy's.

Instructions for consecration to St. Thomas of Kinkade



1) On the first tuesdays of every month, attend "Passover Meal of Yeshua Messiah" and recieve a piece of old el passo soft taco and a shot glass of welch's with reverence.

2) Spend thirteen minutes meditating upon any of the icons which the dear Saint has created

3) Wear a St. Thomas of Kinkade scapular, and recite five decades of homophobic slurs daily.

O, St. Thomas of Kinkade, whose protection is so great, so strong, so prompt before the throne of God, I place in you all my unfortunate taste. Oh, St. Thomas, do assist me to force myself to hang up an Icon of our Lord God in my living room

Oh, St. Thomas, help me by thine intercession to live my Best Life Now, and by hanging up these thine visions of the Heavenly Realms, jilt and shove down the throats of my heathen aquaintences and the hot tub repairmen that I am a Christian, and an American, and not a godlessbabykillingliberalcommiepinkfaggot.

Oh, St. Thomas of Kinkade, pray for those who commit the sin of idolatry by worshipping statues or obama, for the idolatrus Catholic and the idolatrus democrat.

And let those evil spirits, prowling about the world seeking the ruin of THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WHOLE WORLD be cast into Hell for their idolatry, because this is in no way, shape or form the worship of an idiology or a political belief or a country or an america that never exsisted. The only good communist is a dead communist,
Amen.

Here is Our Lord Jesus singing The Star Spangled Banner, and showing you the proper way to wear a St. Thomas of Kinkade Scapular.
