What do Kinkade ,sock Monkeys and Mark Twain Have In Common?

Well I painted them in the past month. I will tell you why. I love authors especially Mark twain and Poe. I Love Sock monkeys it was one of my few toys as a child.   I LOVE making fun of Thomas Kinkade just because I love parodies. I would love to see what people think of my latest work!

"Mississippi Sam Aka Mark Twain" 24x30 oil

"Kinkade's Worst Nightmare 2" 24x30 oil
