Dr. Bob's Folk Art

Gallery and workshop of folk artist Dr. Bob, whose work features Louisiana imagery and often the sentiment: "Be Nice or Leave."

[Kim Newell, 08/09/2021]

Dr. Bob (Bob Shaffer) has a soft spot for dinosaurs and bright colors. One sign warns: "Buy now before the artist dies or his reputation worsens."
