Thomas Kinkade: Art, Scam, or Beanie Babies? 🎨💰 • This video responds to a commenter who first dismissed Kinkade critiques as elitist—then unknowingly agreed with the speaker’s main point: Kinkade’s business model was a scam, just like Beanie Babies. • The issue? Kinkade didn’t innovate or transform his inspirations—he borrowed techniques from artists like Bob Ross and turned them into a mass-market product. While real artists evolve their influences, Kinkade repackaged existing ideas for profit, not creativity. • At the same time, affordable art existed— starving artist galleries sold original paintings by underpaid students. But Kinkade outsourced production, marked up prices, and convinced buyers they were investing in something valuable. The result? His work remains widely available today, but worth very little. • Kinkade’s style falls under kitsch art—sentimental, mass-produced, and designed for broad appeal. If you enjoy it, great! But don’t mistake it for an appreciating asset—because that’s exactly the myth he sold. • 👇 Watch share your thoughts! • #ThomasKinkade #ArtCritique #KitschArt #FineArtScam #BeanieBabyEconomy • 📌 Follow for more: • 🔴 YouTube: @art_lust • 🎨 TikTok: @artlust • 🖼️ Instagram: @art_lust_ • 🌐 Bluesky: @artlust.bsky.social
