Dr Bob is a folk artist - website at http://drbobart.net/
He's in New Orleans - I hope he made it through Katrina OK. Anyway, I saw him a few times in Jackson Square and thought his art looked pretty cool, but who wants to carry art home on a plane (Art who?), so I didn't get any. Then a year ago or so I found out that my friend Louie - http://www.thejukejoint.com/ was selling Dr Bob's artwork through his website, so I bought one.
This pic is terrible - it was taken at night with not enough light so the color is all washed out - I'll try to get a better one.
Hey, I used two links in this message - I hope they work. This might become a real blog!
Edited to say that on Louie's website he says that Dr. Bob stayed in New Orleans in his 9th Ward home, and guarded his neighborhood against looters. I've seen pics of the devastation in the 9th Ward and am amazed that he was able to stay as some of it was pretty hard hit. Anyway, he was armed and ready and on guard, and I'm so glad to hear that he made it through OK.
