Bob Ross and his happy little Fro
Little known (happy little) fact about Bob Ross
He Didn't Love the Fro
Because everyone loves Bob Ross and Legos
Because everyone loves Happy Little Trees, Legos, and Bob Ross!
Bob Ross and four happy little homes :)
A Tribute to the late Bob Ross
Bob
Ross was a beloved PBS instructor who taught thousands to paint and
entertained a generation of TV viewers. Through his show, The Joy of Painting,
the soft-spoken man with the iconic afro brought painting into the
homes of millions. We thought it only fitting to honor Bob Ross with a
collection of his paintings depicting houses.
Bob Ross’s one-of-a-kind style was as admired as it was mocked. The
“serious” art world scoffed at the friendly painter’s simple “wet on
wet” painting technique, and various parodies of his show were created
over the years. However, despite the laughs, Ross remained a man beloved
by many and he remains pop-culture icon long after his death.
Many would be surprised to learn that the extremely
mellow artist who painted “happy little clouds” was actually a military
man who served 20 years in the Air Force.
It’s been almost 20 years since the painter’s death, but it’s easy to imagine
him high above on a happy little cloud, painting a happy little house
beside a happy little river without a care in the world. RIP Bob Ross.
You are missed.

The end of Paper Week has arrived. I felt that it was fitting to wrap up the week with a recycled paper bag, bringing the week to a full circle! Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
Here is an amazing sculpture of a tree carved from a McDonald's paper bag, created by artist Yuken Teruya.

French
art director and illustrator David Troquier, who goes by Troqman, has an
impressive sense of humor. He creates scrapbook doodles and places them
strategically among their surroundings to create new layers of meaning.
We have all heard of photo bombing, but illustrator David Troqman has perfected the art of cartoon bombing!

In light of this being my first year blogging, I am announcing paper week!
The 1st wedding anniversary is traditionally represented by a gift made of Paper. One might consider this gift to be a bit on the boring and unromantic side, but as an artist, I can think of many artistic and exciting ideas for gifts made from paper! Anywhere from airline tickets to an exotic island, theater tickets to your favorite production, or a rare drawing by Picasso. Paper can represent the beginning of a marriage, or it can be the beginning to a number of different of art projects. This week I will be visiting Paper, in its artistic form!
Break free from boring paper ideas and create something amazing! (but don't run with scissors, that's taking it too far)
