Art in New Orleans

I took the boys to New Orleans last weekend. The plan was for my mom to join us but she went into the ER with pain so bad she threw up for 13 hrs straight. After several hrs in the ER they found out it was a kidney stone. So, it was just me and 3 wild boys. We did the basic New Orleans things. Zoo, Aquarium and I Max. But, we also went to a couple of art studios. Dr Bob, know for Be Nice or Leave, and Blue Dog.
I bought Jack, "Why is Blue Dog Blue" last year when I was down for jazzfest. It is one of his favorite books. He was so excited when he saw all the blue dog paintings. "LOOK MOM!! BLUE DOG!!

This is one of Dr Bob's sculptures. He has blocks of studio space for all this scrap metal, wood, bottle tops, etc. It's open to the public. I highly suggest checking it out and buying one of his pieces.
