I first came in contact with Bobmobile through the BOB SMACK series (as in BOB SMACK, It's Skagolicious!). These were some of the most poignant, moving works of contemporary social commentary on the scene at the time. Clearly the creator of Bobmobile (is BOB really his name, or is it a playful metaphor for the everyman - floating free - BOBBING, as it were, in the fluid of an indifferent culture. Perhaps it is a cryptic acronym for some self defining motto, which must, like its creator, remain forever shrouded in mystery and vain speculation). You can keep your Harings, with their faccid cartoonish extrusions, and your Basqiats, with their pseudo expressionistic whiney brat scatologies; sure they got the limelight, but in the last alalysis they lack the nuance of perception,the obsessively focused clarity of vision that we are given by way of the self-imposed constraint of the automotive genre in BOBMOBILE. Clearly this is one of the greatest artists of his (or her?) generation

In the words of Anti-Oedipus authors Deleuze and Guattari, what is a body without organs? The answer for our times is Bobmobile, the brilliance of post-modernism reinerpreted (some would say killed and ressurected) for our shallow, apocolyptic times. If you want to understand the engine of desire that drives us into our cyberspace jungles and deserts, make sense (or non-sense) of recent history (bloody and banal), deconstruct the construction, and let it rip, then Bobmobile is your only possible vehicle. From A to B and way, way beyond.
