This is Everybob Episode 2, Season 1.
To make the background to this painting I painted along with the second episode of The Joy of Painting. It looked like this:
For some reason I elected to paint Tommy Wiseau – writer, director, and star of The Room – over the top of this lovely picture.
I also made a video in an attempt to explain myself.
Please, compare and contrast! I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
This is Everybob Season 1, Episode 1.
To make this picture I painted along with the first episode of the Joy of Painting. It looked like this:
Once the painting had dried, I added my own interpretation of the (once) famous Crasher Squirrel meme, changing the people in the photograph to Bob Ross and his son Steve.

Look, you can compare before and after!
Everybob is my pro-creativity, pro-art, anti-doom, anti-AI slop project. I plan to paint along with every episode of Season 1 of the Joy of Painting — followed by, if at all possible, every other episode of the Joy of Painting — and add my own take or …creative adjustment to it.
And I’m turning the process of making each painting into video essays. Sometimes the essay will have something to do with the painting. Sometimes it won’t.
