I’ll be the douche-nozzle here…
Just like I imagine Chris Kyle would be raging in his grave if his image was used to promote Hillary Clinton’s presidential run (or some such thing), Mr. Ross would be EXTREMELY displeased to have his image used to promote conflict.
Now the bashing-for-being-overly-sensitive can begin. Is the shirt funny? Kinda. Is it appropriate? Meh. So go ahead and bash while you think about shirts portraying Jesus as a pimpin’ gangsta’, or one of your boy Chris Kyle promoting Peace Through Internal Self Reflection.
Wear a Che t-shirt or this one… Either way you’d just be demonstrating full-on Bro’ignorance for anyone looking at you.
I agree. The actual graphic itself is neat, and I can’t help but chuckle at the sight of Bob Ross in tactical gear, but knowing he wouldn’t be pleased with this use of his likeness ruins it for me.
I dunno how tweaked we would be… Before Bob became a Master Paint Slinger, he “enlisted in the United States Air Force at age 18 and went on to serve as a medical records technician. He eventually rose to the rank of master sergeant and served as the first sergeant of the U.S. Air Force Clinic at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska.”
His program used to air at 6:30 Am M-F. I remember to sometimes watching him before going to school. Between his voice and the sounds of his brush on the canvas, he darn near put me to sleep – very soothing. Nothing that a couple of bowls of Captain Crunch couldn’t fix right before getting on the school bus.
Remember our Golden Rule: A thin napalm sticks to a thick kid.
Paint some happy mushroom clouds here…

…and for this one, we’re going to use our fan brush and pick up a little of the red ochre…
Its a happy little t-shirt…
When the oil based paint settles…….that dude could paint. He was the Mr. Rogers of artists!
Great shirt
Now, he paints only in red…

I agree. War sucks, don’t you know people die in that shit?
You’re right, wearing a Che shirt is the ultimate insult. I fully endorse it.

I’m pretty sure he wore it during his 20 years of service at least once.
