For 2011, Thomas Kinkade's art was listed as selling $425 million on product at retail, Jim Shore's art $148 million, agency MHS Licensing artists art $96 million, and agency Art Impressions artists art $65 million. Some of the artists that previously made the list has not make it the last two years. That indicates that the depressed economy has drastically affected art licensing revenues.
