REMOVED





 The Foundation claims to have trademark "Jazz Fest", which is a common phrase used for festivals all over the world. I seriously doubt it would hold up in Court. I am not rich enough to file suit. The Foundation has bullied printers, artists, and common folk with notice they will sue for use. Thus ZAZZLE  removed any design with the phrase and some with just the words, Jazz and Fest separately. Thus hundreds of my long term designs are no longer for sale there and at other places. I have revised some designs. And will revise more. I think the Foundation is not considering New Orleans heritage with those actions. But the common folk cannot fight back those overly rich folks.

One of my Jazz Fest poster for 2010 is a play off the famous Le Chat Noir poster. People love this one and I have variations on that theme with several other posters.

French Country Tiles

(Click Tile To See More)

Being from New Orleans has made me interested in tile designs. I do a lot in ceramic tile, plastic squares, and square refrigerator magnets. Initially I made many designs with no real direction then I got interested in designs that evoke New Orleans. Recently the Delft style blue Dutch style designs and now pretty flowers, which I discovered are French in style. New Orleans being a Spanish Colony at one time has several colorful spots that display Spanish Tile designs from Spain who sent them over for us to enjoy. Stop in my shops on the web and see the many tile designs I have created and still work on them for magnets, tiles, replicas, and even on shirts.

Get Married In Pirates Alley New Orleans

The Ghost In Pirates Alley- the first wedding there in the 1800's

The First Wedding In Pirates Alley New Orleans

The tradition of being married in Pirates Alley in the French Quarter is clouded in secrecy and varies as who tells the tale. One is never sure who was actually the first to get married there but this tale as told to me often during my life is a sure as any tale of pirates, ghosts, and love. Back in the days of the Pirates of Barataria many young men from many places joined in to make a fortune. Called "smugglers" by some, hated by Spain, used by France but admired by Americans as an independent lot who at times would help the poor and ill treated.

I am told one Reginald Hicks, who began as a mere cabin boy on an English ship was taken by some pirates and raised by them. Only a lad in his early teens when captured ultimately raised himself to a first mate of a pirate ship by the time of the War of 1812. He was trusted by all his pirate brethren and their leader Jean Lafitte. He was known to go along with several other men to met with General Jackson to aid the Americans in the Battle of New Orleans, mostly as "cannoneers" as they were very good shots.
Of course Master Hicks was a good looking young man having many a lass looking at him but in his heart was none other but a beautiful Creole French girl, Marie Angel Beauchamp. She too had only thoughts of him and whenever he came into the City they would steal off into the night, keeping their love a secret as it was not permissible for a young  Creole Catholic girl to be seeing a Pirate of English extraction.

As things would happen on Master Hicks' visit to meet with General Jackson he learned that his Marie was expecting their child. He being raised as an English gentleman his first decade of life did not want to leave the city without getting married. His child would have a father and his love would not be scorned for having a child without a husband. All evening they searched in vain for a priest to marry them but most required that they both be Catholic, others would not think of doing a ceremony on such short notice. Eventually they had two options, simply jumping a broom down in Barataria or seeking out a German born baker in the jail who was also an ordained Protestant minister. Master Hicks did not want to take Marie to Barataria which meant she would have to stay and may never see her family and friends in the city again.  So they very early in the morning made their way to the Cabildo and asked the jail's warden if they could speak with the German Minister. He would only allow them to see him through the iron gate facing Orleans Alley. But right there and then they were married. Soon gathered many early arriving workers and some visitors who witnessed the first wedding in Pirates Alley. Documents drawn and signed by a Notary on his way to file others for record at the Cabildo and all present signed making the marriage both Civil and Religious.
Here again the story varies as exactly what happened. What happened to Master Reginald Hicks remains a mystery, some say he was killed in the Battle of New Orleans and seeks out his lovely Marie nightly in Pirates Alley today as a spirit. Others say he and Marie left for Galveston with Pirate Lafitte after Louisiana was sold to America. But if you go to Pirates Alley early in the morning on the right day of the right month you can hear laughter and celebration and wedding bells and a cold breeze passes you by. Could it be the ghost of Master Hicks seeking his bride?

Believe as you may.



 Today couples can still get married in Pirates Alley  by a German Protestant wedding officiant. For more in formation visit his web page at: http://www.figstreet.com/guesthouse/firstpiratesalleywedding.html

March 25, 2010

"Hey slacker—in case you haven’t noticed, it’s officially springtime and you’re still using Christmas-themed stamps on your thank you notes and water bill payments.

Let those nutcrackers and angels take five and save your licks for a personality plus, NOLA friendly Oyster Festival Stamp. Just in time for oyster season, these envelope accessories will remind your out-of-town family and friends of one of the many reasons to book a trip to where party people and pearls alike have taken up residence.

And when stamp costs rise, these cuties will couple perfectly with the love stamps you had leftover from your wedding.

For other fun items like the stamp, visit www.zazzle.com/figstreetstudio"

Real Men Cook Lobster

Louisiana and the Gulf Coast like to boil crabs in hot spicey water with other things like corn and potatoes. Maryland and the Chesapeake area likes to steam crabs and add Old Bay type dry spice after cooking. So I have a Louisiana Real Men Boil Crabs apron to help in the dispute.

For a time after I retired I cooked. I actually cooked as a chef in a French Quarter restaurant until my feet hurt too much. I still love to cook but not all night long in a rush like they force you to do in a fancy restaurant. So I made this Real Men Waer Aprons design as I know how hard it is to be a chef or line cook.

My Life An Oyster, My Love A Pearl

My Life An Oyster, My Love A Pearl Magnet http://ow.ly/1qhFf

Growing up I ate a lot of oysters. My grandfather after being injured became an oyster shucker for local restaurants. he would bring home oysters often. Then as a family we would buy oysters by the sack and open them up, eat some raw and make many different oyster dishes. I developed a fondness for fresh Louisiana oysters back then that continues to today. My art reflects the influence of me growing up in New Orleans. Here are some comical designs.

Fig Street Studio At Cafe Press

Starry Night Riverboat by figstreetstudio
Large format posters printing from zazzle

I will no longer market my products at Cafe Press. I found that others were duplicating my designs and some people downloading my images and using them on products they sold at craft fairs. I complained about these issues to Cafe Press and nothing was done. In fact I was treated like I was the offending party. As I cannot trust Cafe Press to protect my art, designs, copyright, and that they allow the downloading of images that can be reproduced and used on competing products I will not longer market or add my art at Cafe Press. I have migrated most everything to my Zazzle Shop, http://www.zazzle.com/figstreetstudio and use them to sell and market my art from now on.

Be sure to see all the great art, prints, posters, shirts, I have at the Zazzle store. They do a good job reproducing them and they protect the artists copyright.

"The Porter's Incident", scary blog story- http://ow.ly/1pmx8

Pirate Alley Cafe, Painting

The Night Cafe, French Quarter, New Orleans, print http://ow.ly/1pkNS

I hang out at the Pirates Alley Cafe in the French Quarter of New Orleans. I have done so for many years, it is one spot that truly reminds me of France. It is one of the most photographed and painted spots in the New Orleans French Quarter. I did this one as a play off Van Gogh Night Cafe but used orange colors, it was fun doing and I want to do it again in another color. It has a story about it, several in fact, but the one I like is the original owner decided they did not like it so I bought it back and framed it and have it here in the studio as I love it. The print has sold so many times it more than paid me back for buying it back from the original purchaser. I bet they would like it back now that it is becoming somewhat famous. One is also hanging in Pirates Alley Cafe.

Destroyed by Hurricane Katrina this lighthouse once stood at Lakeshore Drive and West End Blvd. on the shore of Lake Pontchatrain at the entrance of the New Basin Canal. It was put in storage and funds are being raised to re-construct it. MAny homes in New orleans and along the Gulf Coast duplicated the style. ( It has been restored and placed up higher.)
