Just a happy little LEGO Ideas design, making it to 10K

LEGO Ideas welcomes the calming influence of Bob Ross to the list of potential fan-designed builds that could become a real LEGO set.

Designed by first-time 10K club member and former challenge Grand Prize winner BrickAbe, Bob Ross: The Joy of Painting takes its lead from previous LEGO Ideas set, 21333 Vincent van Gogh – The Starry Night, featuring a work of art and a minifigure of the artist: Bob Ross. Known for his calming and encouraging televised art lessons, the late Bob Ross was a staple of the ’80s and early ’90s, offering a welcoming space for people to paint along with him.

He was best known for his nature landscapes, similar to what’s depicted in the would-be set. A gradient sunset sky, snow-capped mountains, and a lush forest come together, complete with a cabin and lake in the foreground. The bricks are layered together to create a landscape that stands in relief from the brick-built ‘canvas’ and there are hooks on the back to allow it to hang on the wall.

Bob himself can be found in a tiny TV next to the painting, or perched on a log bench within it.

I write about all the very best fandoms – and that means LEGO, of course. Spending so much time looking at and talking about LEGO sets is dangerous for my bank balance, but the LEGO shelves are thriving. You win some, you lose some.
