Dr. Bob's Folk Art

How to Spend a Big Fat Weekend in Bywater, New Orleans | Bon Appétit

"Forget “Laissez les bons temps rouler”; “Be Nice or Leave” is NOLA’s real catchphrase. It was popularized by legendary local folk artist Dr. Bob, whose funky hand-painted signs hang in restaurants, bars, and homes across the city. The self-taught artist has operated out of his current Bywater studio since the ’90s, and runs an attached gallery with work available for purchase. Stop by to check out his collection of found objects and pick up a sign for your kitchen. If you’re lucky, you’ll meet Dr. Bob himself." - ByAliza Abarbanel
