A series of digital works made on an Amiga 1000 are included among Andy Warhol paintings. A personal computer made in the mid-1980s, Amiga 1000 was a product of the Commodore International Company. The few public pieces that Andy created were then part of a marketing campaign. Whether he made any additional digital artworks outside of the campaign remained a mystery.

Now it can be told that he actually did. Stashed away on dozens of unlabeled floppy disks are a treasure trove of Andy Warhol paintings never before seen by the public. These slowly deteriorating artworks consisted of 28 works of art in the form of digital pieces. Andy created them on a host of 1980s graphics software.

The public has Cory Arcangel to thank for the discovery. Cory is an NYC artist who is a self proclaimed Warhol enthusiast. His discovery of these Andy Warhol paintings was a result of his curiosity being aroused after watching a clip of Warhol artworks in an Amiga demonstration. The artworks presented included a digital portrait of Debbie Harry.

Thomas Kinkade put his entire life savings into the printing of his first lithograph at the very beginning of his artistic career. Thomas Kinkade paintings are inspired by the simple act of painting straight from the heart and not by fame or fortune. He felt a need to put on canvas the natural wonders and images that moved him most.

The artist behind the Thomas Kinkade paintings used his art to share the joy he felt throughout his lifetime. His paintings were sold in support of hospitals, schools and humanitarian relief. Painting for Thomas was not just a hobby or a way of life, but a ministry for charity by raising hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Thomas Kinkade paintings focus on the depiction of simple pleasures and delivery of inspirational messages. Thomas believes that his ability to paint and inspiration for creation comes from a higher power and never from himself.
