Within his own gallery, George Rodrigue painted to please himself, as opposed to an audience or agent. When he did paint for others, it was exciting projects of his choosing, such as Neiman Marcus, the Chicago Cow Parade, and Xerox.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlthough I represented Mardi Gras in my paintings,\u201d explained George Rodrigue, \u201cit was several years before I did a poster. Lafayette Mardi Gras krewes asked if I would illustrate their themes.”<\/p>\n

“One of the earliest I remember was Broadway Shows. It turned out to be very successful, because all of the krewe members bought posters. Also, the local people preferred it to my regular Cajun paintings because of the bright colors.\u201d<\/p>\n
