New Orleans Christmas Cards
Each year I make a new New Orleans style greeting card. So far this is my favorite for 2010. See the little fleur de lis and crescent moon. It can be edited on the web. Add your name or sentiments inside the card by using the orange Customize It botton under the image on Zazzles page.
I have another where I tried to change the ornaments too but I do not like it as much.
These are favorite New Orleans Christmas Cards sold over the years-

New Orleans City Park Green House Postcard
New Orleans City Park Green House Postcard from Zazzle.com
Growing up near New Orleans City Park I would ride by bicycle there often. Even after school I would go and do homework in the gardens. All of it was still in fine shape until my teenage years when the Park became neglected. But still the natural beauty always remained. Today it has greatly improved and again I go often to visit, take pictures and remember how lovely as place it is. I paint a lot of things from there and sometimes compose digital art from my photographs, like the images below.
From The "City Park" web page.
"The New Orleans Botanical Garden has its roots in the Great Depression as a project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Originally known as the City Park Rose Garden, the garden opened in 1936 as New Orleans' first public classical garden. It is one of the few remaining examples of public garden design from the WPA and Art Deco Period remaining today as a showcase of three notable talents: New Orleans Architect Richard Koch, Landscape Architect William Wiedorn, and Artist Enrique Alférez."
From Wikipedia:
"The Botanical Gardens in New Orleans City Park was unveiled in 1936 as a part of the massive restructuring and development project of City Park that took place in the 1930s. Although development plans for the new City Park were originally chosen in 1930, it wasn't until the mid-thirties that funding came in the form of government grants for the national WPA movement, a twelve million dollar project that once employed nearly 20,000 workers in New Orleans City Park.[1] Initially constructed to be a rose garden, the Botanical Garden boasted four outdoor garden rooms, an elegant reflecting pool, and the massive Conservatory of the Two Sisters dedicated to housing some of the garden's more delicate plant life.
Design and construction was overseen by three innovators: architect Richard Koch, landscaper William Wierdorn, and sculptor Enrique Alférez.[2] Together, the three artists designed the Gardens in the style of the widely popular “art-deco” era of the 1930s, constructing the clearly-defined and elaborate grounds that would come to be New Orleans' first public classical garden. Using a combination of natural landscape, historic architecture, and surreal artwork, the garden was intended to be a place where families from all around New Orleans could enjoy the natural beauty of City Park."

I did several styles of digital art of the Ghost who roams Pirates Alley in the French Quarter. Here is a link to the story: http://blogofbingo.blogspot.com/2009/03/ghost-in-pirates-alley.html and below are some postcards.
Matisse Style Nude with Fish
Some years ago as a lark I painted a catfish in a bowl in the style of Matisse. I thought is was comical and sold it to a lady who just loved it. It was Gouache on hardboard paper. I like painting fast with water based colors as they smeared together like finger paint. I ran across a scan I made of it before I sold the original and have placed it at my shop on Zazzle. I try to keep copies of all my paintings so I have them to use on greeting cards I sell. I think the neck tie looks good too. As always at Zazzle you can add text over the web to customize the product with names or phrases.

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.

Get Married in New Orleans City Park
New Orleans City Park’s 1,500 acres offer wedding couples a taste of the city’s historical past in its natural splendor with old oak trees, bayous, bridges, and art. Once the site of Allard Plantation facing Bayou St. John, located at the intersection of Carrollton and City Park Avenues in the Mid-City area of New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina has damaged some areas of the Park and some places have not re-opened. It is best to see the location you want to use in person to determine if it meets your needs. Many intimate spots in City Park are available to do weddings that require no fees. There are also beautiful places in the Park to rent for a large wedding like Pops Fountain and the Botanical Gardens. The City Park Commission should be contacted for rental fees. For a small weekend elopement or before a cruise departing from New Orleans there are other little out of the way places where a small wedding can take place, lovely walkways, large oak trees, fountains, small bridges, and statues. Most open public places are free for a small simple wedding but are first come first serve, therefore selecting alternate spots in the Park is recommended. There are several small bridges over the bayous or lagoons that can be used or under one of the many large old oak trees. By arriving early and walking through the area the couple and a small wedding party can choose a nice location to do a short ceremony. If you desire a larger wedding and a reserved spot you can contact City Park at their web page or call them.

New Orleans Street Signs: Unique Icons
New Orleans has several unique styles of street signs. The famous Blue Letter Tiles that spell out names, the black and white scroll signs on lamp posts in the French Quarter, and those Spanish Tile murals that spell out the old colonial street names. As an artist I use those designs in many protucts. Especially the French Quarter black scroll signs that I have made available so people can edit or add names into them. People use them a lot as invitations and party decorations. Below are samples, click the images for details.
