Best Collab Ever

I don’t know about you but I was obsessed with Bob Ross. It was the only calm show I was into as a kid, everything else was A Team and Airwolf and shit, and I’m not even really sure why I loved it so much. Sure I was fascinated by the way he could make burnt sienna blobs look like bushes and it was entertaining to hear his hippy intonations about “happy trees” and such but what really got me about Bob Ross was how, no matter what, towards the end of each episode when the painting was looking lovely and totally done he would take his biggest brush and a big squirt of the darkest paint he had and he would run a huge dark ass slash across the landscape and fuck the whole thing up. I would wait for that moment in agony, one part of me hoping that Bob would come to his senses and let the painting live just this one time, but the rest of me aching to see him say fuck it once again and ruin it. See in the end the ruining didn’t matter all that much because the dude was a high genius and would have everything looking right before the hour was up. It was just the fact that he had the balls to chance it that made me idolize him. To this day I keep in mind that even though life might seem ok, hell even dandy, somewhere there is a mighty stroke of midnight black ready to swoop in and make everything miserable again. But I don’t sweat it because just after that, there’s always a happy ending. Right Bob? Check out this insane collab at RadCollector.
