Be Nice or Leave! The Truth Behind New Orleans' Biggest Art Rivalry

Описание: With this documentary we wanted to explore Dr. Bob and Simon as both artists and individuals, recognizing their complexities. Our focus is on their artistic rivalry, its cultural significance, and the broader conversations it sparks about art, conflict, generational differences, among many other things!

While we don’t support derogatory or harmful behaviors, we believe it’s important to explore how people are shaped by their experiences, communities, and time. Our goal is to platform diverse voices and celebrate the depth and richness of human experience—including those of Dr. Bob, Simon, and everyone we engage with in our work.

We invite discussion of all kinds and encourage a comment section that fosters curiosity, thoughtful dialogue, and a deeper investigation into what makes people—flawed, brilliant, and human.

If you’re interested in purchasing work from Dr. Bob or Simon, here’s how to best get in contact:

Visit Dr. Bob at his studio at 3027 Chartres St, New Orleans or follow him on Facebook.

Check out Simon's work at https://simonofneworleans.com/ or at his studio 1028 Jackson Avenue, New Orleans.
