BOB ROSS IS [WAS] METAL

I was a huuuuge Bob Ross fan when I was kid. The #1 treat of staying home sick from school was getting to watch The Joy of Painting on PBS daytime TV. I was obsessed with Bob Ross, even tried to paint like him, and his death crushed me like a sack of bricks landing on a happy little tree. He was one hell of a painter with a distinct style. I kept his NY Times obit framed on my wall for many years.

I would hope that if Bob Ross was still alive and able to see the above Photoshop job [posted by Metal Injection] he’d laugh. I think he would, despite the subject matter being at odds with his happy go lucky demeanor. He was cool like that.

After the jump, some vintage BR for ya:
