    I do. I am not shitting you, and I am sure there are millions like me, but when I was in my youth, I would smoke a doob on the way home from school, grab a bag of cheetos and watch Bob bust out one of the greatest paintings using a fucking RAZOR that I ever saw.

    The happy little trees and flowers, and animals and shit. It was great. His voice was so calming.


    It's called a palette knife.. Just FYI. My dad did lots of happy and not-so-happy "little" paintings using palette knives (and others using brushes, sponges, conte crayons, pastels, charcoals, etc etc).
    Just me

    Oh, I wasn't looking for the real BR.

    What I posted is from the defunct Almost Live! TV show from Seattle's KING-5 TV. I always loved Pat Cashman's Bob Ross sketches. He's funny! :D


    Edit: Laughs, I just checked Youtube, and like you said, it's all stupid, homemade spoofs. Too bad the real show isn't on there. I haven't seen the real show in AGES!!

    I loved Bob Ross! A bunch of us used to sit around after high school smoking weed watching happy little clouds appear in the sky. Great memories :)

    i watched him alot, but i think i was too young to really appreciate how great he was at the time. he died back in 94? 95?

    i'll have to program my TiVo to pick up some reruns!
