What are your honest thoughts on this guy?
Does he deserve the hate he gets?

Greg Robinson spent his teenage years being molested by his father. But he persevered and graduated with a fine arts degree, now works as a lead concept artist in Blizzard.

As for the guy in the photo I don't know him.

Great technique but his stuff was pretty tacky. I just found out he's dead which is kind of a bummer. What I do like of his is that Sketching book he did with James Gurney. Pretty good tips for people who want to start drawing outdoors, you can tell he loved doing what he did when he was young.

Pic related, a picture he never wanted to be made public but which sums up him and his life perfectly. Shit.

Are you seeing the pattern here?
What exactly is so bad about a painting being 'tacky'? What the fuck does tacky actually even mean you fucking pseuds? Nothing, it has precisely zero meaning. It's a cop out you people use to avoid having to tell everyone that you're a massive fucking gatekeeper faggot who just parrots some opinion you heard from some overpaid journalist so that you can feel superior to everyone. Art exists to be enjoyed for fuck's sake. If it makes people happy, then it's good. It doesn't fucking matter whether or not it's 'tacky'.
Pic related. It's something called art.

I think you're very right. Always felt uncomfortable when people crapped on Kinkade, even when really high level artists were doing it. You're no more a sell-out working for a game or animation studio than you are selling fine-art tailored to a certain demographic, and Kinkad was in no way bad at what he did
