\ncongrats, Jesse. you can find Jesse’s work documented in several places – in the artlovers archives.
\n. . . we first meet Jesse at ‘BOBO’S on 27TH ST.’ – that way wild SUMMER GROUP SHOW at FOXY last summer (2008).
\nsee: BOBO’S ON 27TH ST – SUMMER 2008 !!<\/a>
\nwe also posted something for him – when he showed up at last year’s (NOV 2009) SCOPE NYC ART FAIR<\/a>, courtesy of – OKAY MOUNTAIN GALLERY – outta AUSTIN, TEXAS !! the coolest artist-run gallery collective around right now, looks like, hands down. in the article we posted a link to Jesse’s – website, (and at that time – a newly re-vamped).
\nsee: JESSE A. GREENBERG !!<\/a>
\nwe also posted a link to: OKAY MOUNTAIN !!<\/a>, and also – featured an image from their website – on the home page – for the next 2 weeks !!
\nthe artist photos & gallery pix on their website – in whatever category – are great, as in KNOCK-OUT !! – as usual.
\ngo back, and hit that – link !!
\nsummertime even looks, fun, back on down there.
\nYO, SHOUT OUT – TO: COLBY BIRD – ‘COLD END’ – JULY 11-AUG 8, 2009 – at OKAY MOUNTAIN. AUSTIN, TEXAS.<\/a><\/p>\n![\"bobo](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/bobo_secret_robot__4.jpg\")

\nFANCIE – COVERING for BOBO – while they played – at their small – MERCH table !!<\/p>\n![\"bobo](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/Bobo_Secret_Robot___5.jpg\")
\nFANCIE outta PHILLY. at SECRET PROJECT ROBOT, BROOKLYN, NYC. JUNE 10, 2009.<\/p>\n![\"bobo](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/bobo_secret_robot___6.jpg\")
\nBOBO had some low-fi posters, xeroxed copies of a group drawing. they were coated on both sides in plastic – like contact sheets. they were being sold for $7 a piece. they were not signed, but – you might have been able to get one signed ?? there ?? not sure, at that price ?? didn’t ask. paying the $5 to get in and support the bands – broke me.
\nsadly, there weren’t too many takers. the economy is that bad. esp in the gritty alleys of NYC.
\nno wonder .. COURTNEY & CHLOE (KARDASHIAN, duh!!) opted for MIAMI !!
\nanother no-brainer: if you don’t have a (signed !!) BOBO artifact or poster – its, now, or – forever – keep your mouth shut.
\nyeah, of course … I got one. I bought that big ‘C.H.U.D.’ POSTER, wrapped in bubble wrap that they had at last year’s NY ART BOOK FAIR !! ($100 – cash !!). but it took me a year – to chase down all 3 signatures !!<\/p>\n![\"bob](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/bobo_secret_robot___7.jpg\")

\nMATT LEINES, at left – who is based in PHILLY came in for the show …. and, here’s the joker – who s-t-a-r-t-e-d the ‘artlovers’ firestorm – !! – this summer – RUDY !! – aka BRIAN BELLOT. and, this is even when …. he pissed me off – Dude, its too tough to play games, this summer.
\n1. if you stiff someone, by commissioning photo work, and then do not follow-thru on promised payment. yo, have a little respect, and stay back in the shadows. don’t jump up at me – 2+ years later, like it’s a big joke – and, have the chutzpah – to ask me to promote your next show !!
\n2. if it all boils down to – ya don’t want to pay for (extensive) PR – then don’t make business contracts – ECONOMICS 101 – and, then – at least – have some backbone – and stay outta my face !!
\n …. let’s not even get into – how much … $400 at least ? was wasted on those oversize, and pathetic, really – shi**y is the right word – invite\/cards. dude, its your money – if that’s how you want to spend your money – OK, but, then don’t come to me – cryin’ and empty-handed.<\/p>\n![\"BOBO](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/bobo_secret_project___11.jpg\")
\nDREW GILLESPIE, of BOBO – is a funny guy. He seems most comfortable in disguise … and, a few steps back.
\nHe is an amazing artist. all of BOBO is good art-wise. even PHIL COTE, who does a lot of their super great – large block lettering\/calligraphy !!
\nDREW makes the big posters – such as ‘MURKY CHUD’. (above) He signs his name: DREW DREW DREW.<\/p>\n![\"bobo](\"http:\/\/www.artloversnewyork.com\/zine\/wp-content\/photos\/Bobo_secret_project___12.jpg\")
