\u201cBefore Dad got sick, he designed several silkscreen prints that he intended to be created,\u201d says Jacques Rodrigue (pictured).\u00a0\u201c\u2019Mardi Gras 2014\u2019 will be the first in a series of prints released by his estate over the coming years. My family and I are excited that we have the ability to release new editions of prints in the future that can be enjoyed by his fans and collectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMardi Gras 2014\u201d is available for pre-order online at www.GeorgeRodrigue.com<\/a> and in Rodrigue Studio locations in New Orleans\u2019 French Quarter, Lafayette, and Carmel, California. The print is offered at an introductory price of $500 and subject to change without notice. Prints will be ready to ship to clients on March 10, 2014.<\/p>\n

The Estate of George Rodrigue created a proprietary ink to stamp on editions of prints released by the Rodrigue Estate. The one-of-a-kind ink formula includes several security measures that guarantee the authenticity of Rodrigue Estate editions. The stamp measures approximately 1.5 x 3 inches and is screened directly onto prints issued by the Rodrigue Estate. This signature ink reacts uniquely to differing wavelengths of light.<\/p>\n
