The Painter of Light Casts a Shower of Gold Upon a Pile of Pooh!







From an LA Times article on Thomas Kinkade:

And then there is Kinkade's proclivity for "ritual territory marking," as he called it, which allegedly manifested itself in the late 1990s outside the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.

"This one's for you, Walt," the artist quipped late one night as he urinated on a Winnie the Pooh figure, said Terry Sheppard, a former vice president for Kinkade's company, in an interview.

And later:

In a deposition, the artist alluded to his practice of urinating outdoors, saying he "grew up in the country" where it was common. When pressed about allegedly relieving himself in a hotel elevator in Las Vegas, Kinkade said it might have happened.

"There may have been some ritual territory marking going on, but I don't recall it," he said.


So now he's hacking Serrano? What's next, a self-portrait with sun-drentched bullwhip up his ass?

Funny, my old neighborhood had a dog who'd mark his territory with derivative, cloyingly saccharine crap that his owner'd scoop with Wonder Bread bags.
Good old Cerberus.
