Who can forget the late American painter Bob Ross, who taught viewers how to create those unbelieveable landscapes on the PBS TV show, The Joy of Painting? In fact, that was one of the only times I'd watch PBS growing up, besides Reading Rainbow and Mister Rogers. To this day, it amazes me the amount of talent Ross possessed. It's such a shame that he died of lymphoma.

Thankfully, we can carry his artistic legacy with us, because Bob Ross Inc. have announced that they intend to develop a video/PC game based on his painting techniques for the PC, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo Wii.

From the Boss Ross Web site:

"The Bob Ross game will utilize the unique inputs that the Nintendo DS and Nintendo Revolution have that can truly immerse the players while they learn to paint like Bob Ross and can play the addictive and fun games that we have planned for the title. I believe that Bob Ross Inc's and AGFRAG Entertainment Group's similar beliefs in independence, creativity, and teaching others will benefit how the game is developed and how the players of all ages will be able to enjoy this game."

No release date info yet, but we'll keep you posted.
