“Bob would’ve loved this. He would’ve loved you. Keep doing what you’re doing.” – Sally Schenck, Director, Joy of Painting
A Decade in the Bobberverse
For over a decade, I’ve been creating the Happy Little Hairdos Bobberverse—reimagining Bob Ross through the lens of pop culture icons that influenced my life as a creative. Free from his Fro, Bob finds himself in cornrows and mowhawks, as rappers and comic book heroes. All in the spirit of the Democratization of Imagination.
But now, his legacy is under attack.
Indiana just slashed $3.7 million from PBS—Bob’s home station was in Muncie, Indiana. Trump wants to cut $9.4B federally!
Without PBS, there is NO BOB. Without Bob, no Happy Little Hairdos.
I’m raising 10% of what Indiana cut myself, through the only thing Bob ever needed:
Imagination and Belief.
PROTECT BOB'S STATION
Purchase a Happy Little Hairdos NFT for this movement.
Since 2014, I've been asked "Why Bob?" and now I feel I've been prepared for this exact calling:
To protect the legacy of Bob Ross and the Democratization of Imagination.
In 2021, the project went live on the blockchain. But it wasn’t time yet.
Now it is.
On October 29th, bring your Bob—your verified NFT—and join us in Washington D.C. for the Million Bob March. Your NFT is your badge. Your banner.
This isn’t a drop. It’s a rising.
Your NFT is your badge. Your banner.
B.Y.O.B Bring Your Own Bob
Million Bob March
Oct. 29, 2025
On October 29th—Bob Ross’s birthday—we’re marching on Washington, D.C. in the spirit of the Democratization of Imagination.
We’re calling on neighbors, dreamers, and believers in public broadcasting to show up dressed as Bob Ross—a Happy Little Protest. If you can’t make it to D.C., show up at work, at school, or in your community dressed as Bob.
PBS gave us Bob Ross. It gave us Fred Rogers. It gave us LeVar Burton, Mark Kistler, and an entire generation of permission to imagine. When PBS is defunded, imagination becomes a luxury, and media becomes a weapon of the highest bidder.
We’re showing up to protect the right to dream on public airwaves. We're showing up to "Make America Paint Again."
I’m currently working with legislators to introduce a bill to help protect Bob’s Station—to secure funding and independence for public broadcasting in perpetuity.
And yes—we’ve got 10,000 Bobs ready to march. They live in the Happy Little Hairdos collection, and each one funds this movement. Buy a Bob, wear the fro, join the legion.
