These bright, colorful graphic representations are based on locally owned and operated business in the megtropolis of New Orleans. (including Houma, Thibodeaux, Metarie, Gretna and other cities) Since 2007 I have been producing a series called NOLA Girls. Each female figure I paint refers to a business that I either support or admire. Each painting usually represents the establishment with the NOLA girl's costume, her background and a "prop" from the particular place in her hands. These paints serve as my layout design.

From the painting, I create postcards. I "clean them up" digitally, add type and a few more sparkles for the printing of  Promotional POSTCARDS. My long range plan is to self-publish a coffee table book of over 100 NOLA Girls. But, until that book is published, I am producing postcards POSTCARDS as a means to promote myself and the future book.
