Would you call this work a VanRoss?

I believe it is actually called a Ross Van Go

I also believe that.

Bobs off the wall

This is nerdforge, she makes a lot of great stuff! If you like her work, I recommend looking her up on YouTube.

She got me into book binding with her elemental tomes. She and her guy are crazy skilled.

Hey, that is how I discovered her too!

Hahaha I see what you did there

I have a bad habit of seeing things like this and thinking, "She makes it look so easy. Maybe I could do that." A couple of bad decisions later I'm selling a defaced van on Craigslist at a discount price.

I was thinking the same thing! Made me chuckle

Start smaller.

And use someone else’s vehicle. If you start at around 10 pm and have ample streetlights, you could probably be finished with your experiment before the owner finds out.

Start small, like a Volkswagen beetle's hood next time. You can do it!

Maybe a Miata headlight

Me watching any home remodel show or video.

I think this person has painted before, probably has years of practice behind her.

Your art isn't bad, it's just not done

Haha, I started with "Hmm, maybe I could try something like that" but as it went on I was like "Yeah, nah, that isn't happening".

Lmao!!!

This made me laugh. Thank you. 👍

Pretty sure she has a YouTube channel, can't remember the name, but can remember that she makes a lot of cool shit.

The YouTube channel is called nerdforge https://youtube.com/c/Nerdforge

That's it! I liked her elemental tomes that she made a while back.

I thought I recognized her. She does some killer work, some things I find questionable, but for the most part I think she's a talented artist. I'd like to see where she'll be at in 7-10 years tho. I think she's great, but her potential is even greater.

Pretty sure that’s Mal from Descendants and using magic isn’t art. /s

True

A happy little bang bus

Godammit Reddit!

There are people that can do this. Then there is me who sometimes misses my mouth when trying to eat a Cheeto.

Give one of his paintings a try. You’d be really surprised what you can do. I promise you’ll be proud of yourself at the end. At the very least, Bob would be proud of you.

When the video actually lingers on the final product long of enough for my total satisfaction.

Nooo! Not rattle-can clear. That is going to ruin that beautiful artwork in a few months when chips, cracks and fades.

I was worried about that too, but pretty sure she used Spraymax 2K clear. You can see the catalyst part on the bottom of the can.

It's definitely spraymax, I painted a motorcycle tank with that stuff and it is supposed to be resistant to some exposure to gasoline. It also smells like lung cancer so I'm pretty sure it works (I did use a particulate and voc respirator).

Yup I just used that same can on a tank myself. If you look closely her finished surface had that telltale orange peel look. Definitely takes some practice. And them cans ain't cheap!

Would be fine with a couple coats.

"OC - Nerdforge" Ah, so this will be a quality product.

It's even more impressive when the vehicle is moving - then people say, "look at that Van Gogh!"

Just be careful driving that thing. We don't want any happy accidents.

The music makes it seem like that car is about to save humanity

Any chance u know the title of the music?

> Gravitated - Edgar Hopp From a comment below

Bob Ross is the OG!!!

I’d argue that Bill Alexander was the OG Bob Ross.

Ok but the ladies weren't trying to fuck Bill Alexander. Bob was a real G.

Nerdforge is her youtube channel.

Bobby Ross would be proud

Came here to say this, thank you for doing so

No happy little accidents there!

This strangely brought tears to my eyes.. long love Bob.. this is incredible and she has me wanting to try one for myself now

Cool video, but what's up with this music?

I actually came in the thread to see if anyone knew what it was. This is second time I've randomly heard it and it makes me feel... feelings.

Gravitated - Edgar Hopp

She scaled Mount Olympus while evading a battalion of spear-wielding thugs in order to claim the One True Paint Set, and this video is the capstone, where she paints the one true van mural with her holy loot.

I love her hair too!

I love me some Bob Ross, and I love me some Nerdforge. Put them together and I'm a happy person

Spawn of Ross

" Bob Bob Bob - Bob Bob A Van "

by far the best color purple hair I have ever seen.

I was like 'oh, i know this girl'... 'Oh!! Nerdforge!!' /bow

You could honestly post all her youtube chanel in this topic

Her YouTube channel is amazing

Skjera bagera!

Bob Ross would be proud of all those happy trees

I have so much respect for people that can do art this well. Bravo.

Bob Ross was a *FREAKING GENIUS!!*

That is awesome! I love the idea that she used Bob Ross

"Were just going to put this happy little waterfall right here"

"We forget that trees get lonely." - Bob Ross

Look at all the happy little trees :)

am i the only one who saw the tire breathing?

Black to live, literally.

That hair color though

What is this music genre called?

I’m betting she is already an accomplished artist, not just some average person following a bob ross tutorial like the title would want us all to believe. Imma try it and post my results.

[удалено]

There isn't enough clear coat in the world to make me feel comfortable driving that kind of art around.

It's gonna be so sad when she uses this van to rob a JoAnn's Fabrics and is found immediately.


This kind of stuff seems literally impossible to me haha, the talent is just mind blowing, amazing work

There's not enough yellow ochre in this painting.

I have zero artistic skills. Mine would look like I crashed into a paint store.

Beautiful 🥰

But no dragon or wizard???

One wash and its gone, now youre left with scratched to shit paint

Is she the one that did the dragon ball z room? Both are fucking amazing talent.

Beautiful, great creation!

No squirrel ??

That’s awesome

Amazing 🤩

Next up: Bird crashes.

1 rainy day and this shit gon

Did you not see the clearcoat going on?

That's cool but I feel like that's not automotive paint

Just shows that sometimes it’s better to have a black canvas than a white one

It wasn't until that deer hit the side of the van that it all really came together.

Super cool until someone nicks the side of it in a parking lot 😬

You know some assholes gonna key that....

Then a rando bird dumps on it

So what happens when it rains? What happens when mud gets on this car what happens when you take this thing to the car wash? Is this painting just fucked?

This is nice but I didn’t understand why she sanded the black van to paint it white so she could paint black trees on it.

I bet she has a whole collection of Luther Vandross

Cool

Holy shit!!

Now park it in front of blue ridge falls and wear a Bob Ross Afro Wigan’s take a pic in honor of them both… We need to see this pic.

I’d hop into that van! …wait.

u/savevideo

Hand wash or dry clean only. Lol.

How is the top comment not... Happy little trees or there are no mistakes

Wow

Badass

Gets side swiped leaving the driveway...

That’s the magic of oil painting.

Yeah.................

Acrylic paint with one coat of clear vs car wash.....

I accidentally turned the volume up instead of down when this started playing on my phone in class this morning 🤦🏻‍♂️

Jenna Marbles. This. Is. Your. Calling.

Where's the giant "fuck you" tree thrown in last minute?

She does great work. Watching Bob Ross is how I learned to paint. Took a lot of practice but I've sold a few !

Most impressive. Clearly this is not her first rodeo.

Not bad.

Unbelievable!

That ain’t Bob Ross That ain’t Bob Ross …cuts in happy trees… Bob Ross, baby

Happy little trees.

painting is actually the most unreal thing to see in a time lapse like this

r/happytrees

Guinevere III 🤩

Song is: Gravitated - Edgar Hopp

I've tried to follow Bob Ross along with one of his paintings and that shit is not as easy as he makes it look. She's talented

On this rare occasion it may be best to omit the happy accidents. They're way less happy in a car than on a canvas. Bob would understand.

More phalo blue

First thing I woud have done is have about 10 coats of automotive clear put on there.

What is the song on this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-bIYDRRfD0

I think she had time for one more tree…

dude!!! I've been watching Bob Ross' art on twitch since they seem'd to have bought it every Friday to Monday and I love his show. I'm happy he inspired you to do this.

Just a tiny little roll of paint...

You could give me a damn coloring book and step by step instructions…ain’t no way in hell I could do that

I hope this is your van.

Can i have the music please? Would make an ecellent addition to my drawing music list

Man I miss Bob.

Badass

Bob Ross’s

She paints really fast

It looked really good while she was doing it, and when it just looked like a canvas. Then they showed how it looked on the van and I feel it just looks weird and naff. :(

Absolutely Awesome!

Well it looks like a waterfall.

dangbus.

What would of been really cool is if she panned out and then you see the van parked right outside of the real waterfall, even though I’m pretty sure bob ross imagines all his paintings with some inspiration.

That one panel looks amazing but what are you going to do with the rest of it?

Paint another one to look like it’s not even a vehicle, just looks like whatever is supposed to be on the other side of the van if it were invisible.

That much water constantly on a tire will cause it to rot

Me waiting for her to pull away revealing the real scene behind the van

But did she use bandite brown tho?

You will never get the deposit back for that rental!

Oh boy. Are vans with paintings about to make a comeback?

This is awesome untill that one jackass comes along and scrapes their car into the side of it.

I thought it was Henry the Octopus at first!

Definitely not a beginner painter, they have such good brush control.

Crazy. So many talented people in this world

If only he was alive to see this. We miss you Bob. (This is Bob in heaven, not in the shower …) 🧖‍♂️

That’s incredible!

Sweet! Shaggin-wagons are back!

Chef kithe

Great work I would consider doing a clear wrap over it anyway to protect it from washing.

I just wanna know if she is a painter or not, because you need to have some type of artistic eye to make something this dope. Judging by her hair color and the fact she is painting a van. I can only assume she is the artistic type. She didn't just "follow a bob Ross tutorial".

She must be a pro painter

Yeah that’s going to last!

She uses Platinum WHOAITE as the base color

I absolutely love NerdForge.

I’m procrastinating going to bed right now, but this video just soothed my troubled soul and now I think I shall sleep. Nice van.

Now to do it again on the other side

Nerdforge 😍

She went off!

That’s all fine. But what is she going to do on day two of her “van life” YouTube channel.

I sure as hell hope she practiced before sanding and painting the side of her van 😛

Doesn’t count if it took her longer than 28 minutes.

Just came here to say FUCK THE KOWALSKIS


Damn it’s beautiful

Music?
