Alot of people tend to lose themselves in realizing that Bob Ross isn't given the props he's meant to have... really. Can anyone deny Bob Ross? I mean jeez-- the guy could paint a landscape in less than 30 minutes and was the most pleasant human being that ever walked this Earth.
You Google his name, and it's a damn shame that all you see are parodies of the guy, and almost next to none of any contributions to him. So, I think I'm doing the man somewhat of a favor by making my tribute to him. And really, I've been meaning to for a looong time now.
So yeah, there's a bit of a story with this. And honestly, I wish this could actually happen.

Juju walked alongside his younger brother Jini, who pranced forward hurrying towards an arts & crafts store as he hurried his older brother to enter.
"Juju come on! I reeeeally need that gesso for this art project!" Jini cried.
"Right! Right... just... you're in such a hurry to get it..." Juju commented.
"I am SOOO excited!"
As the two entered, they saw Jackie and Teufel, two closest acquaintances of theirs arguing mildly as not to attract too much attention.
"Jackie?" Juju asked, confused.
Teufel and Jackie turned to look at the calling voice and saw their cat-eared comrade Juju.
"Juju! Heyyy!" The two of them lowering their hostility towards each other as they approached Juju, Jini darting past towards one of the aisles.
"What're you doing here?" Jackie asked.
"Ehhh, baby brother here," Juju pointed a thumb over his shoulder, "needed some gesso for something he wants to work on... art project..."
"Right, right... nice." Jackie commented.
Well, what're you doing here?" Juju asked.
"Taunting sin..." Teufel grumbled, waving a cross at Jackie.
"Brother Teufel! You need to SHUT IT!"
Before the two of them could go at each other in argument again, Jini came running up holding a large bucket of gesso paint over his head, showing Juju directly.
"I got it! I got it! Let's gooo!" Jini cried excitedly.
Juju paid for the paint, Teufel and Jackie joining company with Jini leading the pack of young men, grinning happily of his newly acquired gesso.
"What kind did he get anyway?" Jackie asked.
"Ehhh I dunno-- Jini what kind of gesso is that?" Juju asked.
Jini glanced at his large bucket, winking his eyes and read aloud, "Bob Ross gesso... who's Bob Ross?" Jini asked.
"OHHH MY GAWD! You got Bob Ross gesso?!" Juju clamored.
"Oh no..." Jackie lowered his ears in surprise, "Not this again."
"Dude everytime a bucket of Bob Ross gesso is opened, an angel gains its wings."
Teufel, being the devout Catholic he was, ironically found this profoundly hilarious as he guffawed heavily in laughter.
"I am DEAD serious dude, and sometimes? Sometimes..." Juju cleared his throat from his own laughter, "the spirit of Bob Ross is summoned for the company of his once great persona. God bless Bob Ross."
"That's mighty biblical, if not almost blasphemous." Teufel commented.
"Yeah, all wisecrackery and bogus." Jackie commented.
Jini being inspired by his brother's words, grinned again, pulled out his utility knife and popped the lid loose, "WORD! BOB ROSS POWERS ACTIVATE!" Jini harked.
And when he opened the lid...

The sky turned black on that fateful day.. The opening of a paint can revealed swirling light, and the figure of a man's face: the face of a legend.
The face of Bob Ross appeared and the sky; but lo! Our heroes were awestruck at the sight, looking up to see Bob Ross staring down at them.
Bob Ross, rather, the spirit of the man looked down at them. He smiled, and our heroes kept the same shocked expression.
He then opened his mouth and spoke, the anticipation of memorable words..
"Hello, my happy little children," he said.
--- Thus madness ensued of the four who bear witnessed,
"Hooolyyyy CRAP! IT'S THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS! REPENT!" Teufel screamed, wielded both cross and rosary in hand as he began praying aloud.
"DAAAG AM I ON PCP?! THIS IS NUTS!" Jackie hollered in shock.
"YES! JUST! YES, DUDE! YESSS!!!" Juju praised.
"Whoaaaa!" Jini announced awestricken while holding the light-emitting can of Bob Ross gesso.

I had been a huge Bob Ross fan for years, and when he passed, I was really devastated. It's great to know that someplace he's drawing happy trees and clouds, beautiful blue waters, magnificent landscapes - and he never has to change a brush. ^_^
The world misses you, Bob... It was a lot brighter with you a part of it.
Kudos to
for an amazing job, and a lovely tribute to the master. Your work just gets better and better! ^_^

Yeah but I always hate that. Like maybe 10 years down the road I'll retry drawing this very same piece, but at the time I hate drawing something, being unhappy with it and be like "Oh fudge it," and try again the next week; it just feels like I didn't care at the time and that makes me sad.
