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.

Then I turned the process into a video essay.

Now the painting looks like this:

Look, you can compare before and after!

About Everybob

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.
