George Rodrigue's New Blue Dog + New Gig

Falling for You, 2008

Renowned Blue Dog painter, George Rodrigue is as busy as ever. He recently released his new limited edition Blue Dog print, Falling for You. He is in the middle of a 3 month cross country tour for his new 512 page book, Blue Dog Speaks. And, he was just named Louisiana's artist laureate.

I think it is the perfect accolade for a man you has spent his career evoking the haunting beauty of the state through his Cajun paintings, and has donated over $2.5 million to post-Katrina relief efforts through the sale of his Blue Dog prints. Congratulations!
