It seems that only last week we were taking a walk down memory lane with Rob Ross, the beloved PBS painter whose art instruction television program and books taught several generations of budding artists how to paint “happy little trees,” and “friendly clouds.” Simply watching him deftly dabbing at a canvass, listening to his dreamy comments about this or that object as he brought it to life through art was enough to send many of us off into a happy little dreamy land of our own, where anyone could paint a pretty landscape, add a barn or a house, a chimney with a trail of wispy smoke beckoning some unseen character home at the end of chilly winter afternoon. What do you suppose Rob Ross would have to say about all the different social media services of today? Thanks to this artistic and imaginative infographic from Flowtown, we don’t have to wonder anymore. Here you will find a slightly comical, yet sweetly realistic summary of all of the current crop of social media tools we currently use, and how they might be viewed through the eyes of the artist himself.
