FROM THE ARTICLE
In his heyday, the latest pop-culture icon to get a video game didn’t rap or play professional sports. He painted happy trees and happy little clouds.

Late last week, in what initially appeared to be an April Fools’ Day joke, video game developer AGFRAG Entertainment announced that it is developing video games based on the paintings of the late TV artist Bob Ross.

The beloved painter became famous more than 20 years ago for his mellow instructional art show “The Joy of Painting.” And now he’s set to become a video game icon.
