What a fantastic time I had last weekend at the Jazz Fest. New Orleans certainly knows how to throw a party! Great food, drink, and of course, MUSIC! The art was divine this year with Terrance Osborne’s beautiful poster.

I had the honor to meet and discuss art with two of the most famous artists at the fest: Bruce Brice Jr. and Richard C. Thomas. Mr. Brice was the first artist who created a poster for the Jazz Fest 45 years ago.

Mr. Thomas is known for his 1989 Fats Domino poster. They were both so humble and wonderful and very interested in my Human Trafficking Series.

I bought a print for my God-daughter, Jerusalem, but had no idea Mr. Thomas was going to sign it for her. Because it is a surprise, I will wait to show you the print. However, I loved one print in particular which I am going to try to get for my sons. Since they do not read this blog, it will still be a surprise for them.
Richard C. Thomas, God and Drew Brees! Who DAT!
What else can I say but…
WHO DAT!
