A handsome Bob Ross from the 60′s you guys, and without the fluffy fake perm and happy beard. Don’t let his well-crafted public image of a gentle tempered painter convince you he was always so. Ross had a 20 year strong career in the military as an airman. Once out he swore he would never yell at another human being ever.

This illustration for the Boston Garter is often mistakenly attributed to JC Leyendecker, but it was created by Cole Phillips who was famous for using negative spaces in his figures.
A shout-out to Logan Zillmer. I love his retro surrealist Magritte inspired works.
