Krewe of Barkus Mardi Gras Parade - February 27, 2011
A Broadway Tail
Parade, Sunday, Feb 27th 2011
Royal Ball, Friday, Feb 25th 2011
New Orleans' only Carnival parade for dogs, Barkus trots down the streets of the French Quarter two Sunday's before Mardi Gras. Each year a new Queen is chosen, always a rescued or adopted female dog. A Broadway Tail is the theme for the eighteenth year of the Mystic Krewe of Barkus. Feel free to explore creative costuming while keeping in mind that we are calling attention to homeless animals in shelters across our area waiting to be adopted into a good home...

Garland Robinette paints this year's Jazz Fest poster #jazzfest

Jazz Fest 2011: For the Jazz Festival poster, Garland literally took pages from Jimmy Buffett’s autobiography & imagined what it would have been like to meet the young musician as he played on the streets of New Orleans in 1967. He pictures Jimmy at the corner he worked as night melted to dawn, with the musician’s trusty Falcon parked nearby, and after his weekend gig filled his cigar box.
