surrey's 1418 magazine street

besides being on diners, drive ins, and dives, surrey's is by far one of the best places in this city to dine, and BUY ART. This Jazz fest season will be like last year, featuring new works by yours truly. Last years successful showing sold about 35 works to the public, and thank you WILL SMITH JR, curator, and friend, for allowing me the opportunity to sell my sometimes twisted, yet whimsical view of nola...

I'd also like to thank Will, because on a recent spending spree, for the HBO series "the treme", Will sold a beautiful oil giclee of a mardi gras float to the series art curator. In turn, he turned to Tim Cohn, and told him about me.

About a month later, Tim purchased four pieces from me, to be featured in the background scenes for one of the episodes... THANK YOU WILL and THANK YOU TIM and THANK YOU TREME!

So in honor of this fabulous purchase, and in honor of my new diggs to watch the Treme, I'll be hosting the show at the hi ho lounge on sundays. There will be a grand prize at the end of each show, for the person who can name / write down the most local references in that episode. from artists, musicians, chefs, local stars, etc...

AND if you want to stay ahead of the entire thing, get over to surrey's, because THATS the one hot spot that the Treme has purchased the art in the background. Be a New Orleanian, and come for the food, come for the music, and come for the art.
