The History of Side Show Bob:

From Prodigy to Master Painter

Meet the Team

1969

Bob, the painting prodigy, was born. Rumour has it that even as a baby, he had a paintbrush in his hand!

1974

Bob joined his dad on weekends, learning the art of painting. Father and son made walls come alive together.

1976

Bob discovered basketball. NBA dreams danced in his head. Go, Lakers, go!

1980s

Bob painted alongside his dad, honing his skills on weekends, holidays, and those occasional rebellious school days.

1987

School disagreed with Bob, but fate led him to St. John’s College for a national basketball competition. Maybe the NBA scouts were taking notice?

1988

Bob dominated on the court, winning the NZ Under 20s national title with the Waikato team. No NBA contract yet, but the paintbrushes kept calling him.

1990s

Bob fell in love with painting, honing his skills before jetting off to the Land Down Under. Sydney welcomed him with open arms!

2000s

Bob’s painting skills were in high demand along Bondi and Eastern Beaches. Even painted a $20 million beachfront house!

2008

Bob came to his senses and returned to Aotearoa to start Side Show Bob’s Painting. The name may be unconventional, but Bob’s work is anything but ordinary.

2023

The Breakers play at home again—Bob’s a proud 15-year member. NBA dreams still simmer.

Present

Bob, the master painter, continues to amaze after 35 years. Whether it’s your home, business, or industrial area, Side Show Bob transforms spaces, one stroke at a time.
