Bob Ross was the hero and artist the world didn't deserve! Don't be depressed... and to be honest... i will and still do watch his videos on Youtube. The bad guys will get the money anyways. So, why not... a bit of adrevenue is minimal compared to actually supporting the company thinking it's what Bob would have wanted. If you haven't seen the other documentary, the Happy Painter, on Youtube (i linked as well) watch it. It's good too! I have spoken about Bob and his influence on me as a person in many posts.. Not so much in art but just life in general as his art style and mediums aren't similar to mine (yet).

One thing i considered was the part about Bob missing a finger or two on the hand he holds the palette with. I thought maybe AI was honing in on that.... but meh... it's probably just the hands like you mentioned. Thanks for taking time to actually read the post. Thanks even more for exploring some of the links i dropped. And thank you the most for a thoughtful and meaningful comment. Cheers!
