@BobRossOfficial I know a painter who knew Ross. Bob pre-drew the paintings he used on television. The BR enterprise is a building hidden next to a birthing center in NOVA. He was a troubled artist, like many artists. The fact that his own son and wife contributed to the doc says something.

@BobRossOfficial LIVE TWEET:
Seems like the Kowalski’s want to silence #BillAlexander - who obviously contributed to @BobRoss success.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss #BigOleTree

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss No doubt #BobRoss had talent. He helped many with #HappyAccidents

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss I foresee this #documentary shifting towards the negative of the #Kowalski family and how they monopolized on the success of #BobRoss via teaching the “Ross/Alexander Technique”

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Every time I watch #BobRoss I go on a #ThrillRide too

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss If Bob Ross knew what we know now about whispering and HSMR - still the #original

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss So now #Bob Ross is a sexual deviant? #JesusChrist he was an artist - con artist? Idk

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss older women make better lovers - whatever

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss The doc is interesting showing stills of nature, with bob-esq shots

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Of course you take another mans women / vice versa - there’s gonna be drama.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Sometimes, painting isn’t about the subject or final art, it’s about the process. So far, the process is no issue. Artists use pre drawings, carbon paper, other means to get an image. #Sellsellsell

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Finding a distributor of paint isn’t an issue, that’s what one has to do to go to market. No issue with paint composition- it works with #wetonwet

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss #profit #kowalski #joyofpainting #freedom #downhill

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss I’ve actually been sited because I painted using my own blood in one of my paintings. #trauma. #stilllegal

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss 🙏🏻 all artists waiting on the #goodtimes

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss I sometimes beat my brush too

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss My mom died of cancer and the year before she died, for Christmas, made everyone quilts - paintings ain’t no different.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss #annett was a prodigy of Alexander

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Sorry y’all- took a break - back at it. #ganggang

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss So far, what’s the drama other than the shame of discovering an #AmericanIcon for #profit business dealings falter for many reasons…. Ok - I’m about to learn… #contracts

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss #Kowalski were smart. They had good lawyers who knew contracts and law. Right or wrong - contracts suck on so many levels.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Halfway into the #documentry it becomes clear this is about #legacy and not really about #BobRoss as a person - family trying to take back what was taken from them. #ShouldHaveCameToTheFuneral is this what the officialtweet is about that got me watching an #Icon?

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss #Kowalski should explain what no body attended their #MoneyBags #Funeral #Disrespectful #FuneralDirector

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss In today’s society - expect all wrongs be made right via #socialmedia, #Netflix, #BobRoss Also, I paint using acrylic but could never afford official bobross paints - would love to try those oils.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Love Netflix as a business decision but hate Netflix cuz I can’t snapshot the email stating: “what do you think Bob would say…if alive… injustice to surviving partners of #BobRossCompany

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss So far, let’s recap: Bob was a talented troubled artist. He built a contractual business relationship with the Kowalski’s. Bob died. Kowalski’s are kinda assholes because they hold the contract that Bob signed and the documentary is negative towards them.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss I’m not a lawyer and this is not financial advice: but a valid contract simply cannot be overturned because it does not provide benefits to the other party, despite being a father, artist, veteran, etc.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Awe sheit! Bob Ross copies? Is that why news came out recently about where the paintings are?

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Webber paints - as an artist - you guys are asshats - I’ll look into what other brands you supply and not use them

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss The sim using “his” name - I respect that - that’s Bob’s son - but without seeing the contract Bob signed - he may not be able too and agree or disagree - sounds like his dad fucked him over - via contract -More to come

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss #money it’s always about money.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss The “first” contract - your dad was a good man - what’s up with subsequent contracts?

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Uncle signed rights - “against fathers wishes” - but legally…. Sorry

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss This documentary pulls on the nations emotions about a national icon vs what is legal in the eyes of the law. Yes, documents may have been destroyed but where is proof? Yea they did steal the bobross name.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss #boycottBobRoss that’s the only way. Stop the money train. Sadly, I will have many sleepless nights without falling asleep to his videos on Pluto in the background but whatevs. Maybe I’ll start painting again myself.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss All these letters bob received - never read one - how about the family start a site to read the letters!

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss Who owns the letters - fuck the paintings - where are all the letters? Who owns them?

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP where are all the letters #BobRoss

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP The whole idea behind Bob’s legacy is that there is joy in painting, people can be valuable and important in this world.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP Nobody knows the impact they have on others, it is the others; that remember and know them.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP I’m not sad remembering #BobRoss he is still alive ever time I see him in his videos. Like music, we listen and we remember.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP Honestly, there are a lot of memes and t-shirts, stickers, merchandise- so much money….that said the Kowalski’s are still asshats but should do more for scholarships and the arts in general.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP “Steve has not received a penny to date” - there it is folks - Steve finally came to social law to see if he could get dads money which he signed over to the Kowalski’s.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP I feel sorry for Steve but all this documentary shows is that bin signed an agreement with the Kowalski’s- the end. Are they asshats - yes - perhaps - should they maybe have… blah blah blah - maybe - but business is business in law.

@BobRossOfficial @BobRoss @AugensteinWTOP Is it right? Morals are different than law - do I want to do business with the Kowalski’s- no. Do I want to use paint products from Webber? No and that folks is stopping the gravy train.

@BobRossOfficial He has since past, however you can learn a little about him here:


John Young was an amazing artist, registered copyist, storyteller and friend.
