Bob Ross Flickr group

I started exploring the world of Bob Ross on photo-sharing site Flickr a while back, and I thought I’d share an update with you all.

So far I’ve added just 2 pictures myself (pretty poor going I know), both of my favourite Bob Ross mug, they’ve had a paltry 2 views each, but we all have to start somewhere:

I’ve also started a couple of Groups on Flickr:

• Bob Ross Paintings – I started by inviting a few people who I’d found with their own Bob Ross paintings, and there have now been over 200 photos submitted from the Flickr community, many from the 16 members of the group who have started to make it a living breathing Bob Ross space – a big thank you to you all for your time and enthusiasm, and most of all for sharing your paintings

• Bob Ross Miscellany – I found other people with Bob Ross related pictures on Flickr from the mundane to the downright bizarre, so I’ve set up a space to invite contribution of a more light-hearted nature. We’ve got 5 members here and a great variety of pictures reflecting how Bob’s popularity still knows no boundaries. I’d never have known that Bob Ross is somewhat of a cult underground figure at US college fancy dress parties if it wasn’t for this group! 83 pictures and counting – once again, a massive thank you to all contributors.

I’m going to make a concerted effort to be a bit more proactive with both this blog and the Flickr groups from now on – any suggestions/feedback more than welcome – Happy Painting!
