"It's so important to do something every day that will make you happy."-Bob Ross

BOB ROSS. Okay, if for some crazy reason you don't know the name Bob Ross, for God's sake stop reading this blog and watch an old episode of the Joy of Painting. It's like meditating and listening to your favorite Kindergarten teacher and sipping sweet wine and using one of those scalp massage tools, all at the same time; good stuff.

J. LESLIE. No surprise, J loves Bob Ross. Like Bob, J "finds freedom on his canvas." In that spirit, J is throwing in his school teacher bow ties and donning his paint spattered sweatshirt - yup, he's becoming a full time artist! From little paintings, to big paintings, to murals, to design, my long haired bearded wonder is on fire.

Follow J on his new Instagram account!

INDIGO. J isn't the only one getting his creative groove on. The Leslie ladies have been making art too, including some of the performing kind! Skateboard design, hip hop, singing solo? Yes!

KIM. As seemingly random as it is, the tribal belly dance culture is alive and well in little Seward, Alaska and Kim has been getting her shimmy on at festivals and beyond. Totally improvisational, her performances are full of trust, forgiveness, courage, friendship and yes, many happy little accidents. No doubt, Bob Ross would approve. 

"We artists are a different breed of people. We are a happy bunch." -Bob Ross
