    Little did I know that Thomas Kinkade would file for bankruptcy this week. I didn’t even spell his name right. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-kinkade-20100603,0,2754569.story

    I am really liking this series. The collage presentation is awesome and the format of a visual essay is a breath of fresh air, not to mention bringing along interesting ideas. Who are the art world’s most “capitalized” artists?
