How do you ship stuff?

Prints and books are sent through USPS, with signature confirmation. Prints are shipped either flat in a cardboard mailer or tube.

If you purchase an archival canvas or original (which are usually larger than the prints), please contact me about additional shipping costs.

Are the watermarks on the prints?

Oh, no! Since work is stolen by both humans and AI image scrapers, I emblazon big, hairy watermarks on everything. I hate it, but that’s the world we live in.

Do you accept orders placed outside of the US?

I'm happy to ship anywhere in the world, but let’s talk first. New Delhi will be more expensive than New York.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Domestic shipping takes about 3 business days, depending on the efficiency of your local postal service. International shipping varies between 2 and 12 weeks.

What's the difference between
an archival canvas, a lithograph, and a print?

A print, taken care of (ie, framed, under glass, out of direct sunlight) should last you a lifetime and then some, and every one is hand signed. All lithographs are prints, but not all prints are lithographs. My lithographs are offset, and done on a big, four-color press. If something is just called a "print" that means it's either done on a digital press (using the same paper as a lithograph - I use digital prints for smaller runs), or it's a photographic print. Most folks, including me, can't tell the difference between any of them.

An archival canvas is a completely different animal. These are signed and numbered, in a series of 200. Once I hit that number, I will not make any more. The canvases look like the real thing, and I paint on top of them as well, so each one is a little different. Unless you’re an art expert, you won't know the difference between an archival canvas and the original painting. They are lightfast (won’t fade in the sun), and guaranteed to at least 150 years. After that, you probably won't care.

Canvases are ready to hang and gallery-wrapped, meaning the canvas goes all the way around to the back of the stretcher bars, no additional framing necessary. They are GORGEOUS. Sometimes, they are BETTER than the real thing - not all of my earlier stuff was lightfast, so the color has faded on the originals. The archival canvases, made from carefully color corrected digital prints, won't lose one iota of pigment.

I love this piece, but I want it in a different size!

Archival canvases can be made larger. Please contact me for pricing. The prints are the sizes they are.

I’m coming to New Orleans!
What should I do? What should I eat? Where should I sleep?

Welcome to my magnificent, magical, dysfunctional city! There’s so much to do that it’s impossible to list it all. It really depends on what you’re looking for.

Roam the French Quarter. Browse the antique shops on Royal Street. Have a Pimm's Cup at Napoleon House. Explore the Pharmacy Museum. Be awed by stuff you probably can't afford at MS Rau. Take a stroll down Frenchmen Street, and if you hear something delicious pouring out of one of the jazz joints, pop in. Remember to tip your bartenders and musicians well - their lives depend on it!

Speaking of tipping, if you slow down to listen to a band on the street, and ESPECIALLY if you record them, please, please, throw something in that bucket. If you tip a dollar for a six piece tradjazz (traditional jazz) band, know that the average income in New Orleans is $35,000, while the average one bedroom has shot up to $1500. You can thank Airbnb. More on that later.

If someone on the street tries to put beads in your hand, asks where you got your shoes, or asks you to sign up for some mailing list, keep moving. The scams are as wide, varied, and deep as are the desperation and poverty. Be kind, but be careful.

Walk in well-lit streets, in shouting distance of other people. Even if it looks like an easy twenty minute stroll to the Marigny, if you don't know what you're doing, you can very quickly become prey. I like riding my bike. Consider renting one.

Don’t wear beads if it’s not Carnival season. Actually, be careful of wearing beads or masks at all. Human + beads + French Quarter = tourist. Also, most beads are scraped up off the ground after Mardi Gras. Imagine what hell-filth-infested horror they’ve been dragged through on Bourbon Street. Don’t give them to your baby to teethe on.

I may be biased, but check out the artwork on Jackson Square. Ask the carriage drivers if I’m around. We all know each other. (Extra credit for bringing me something delicious with whiskey in it.) Have yourself a Ramos gin fizz at Muriel‘s (just don’t look at the ingredients, and I love their crawfish goatcheese crêpes). If you’re feeling intrepid, ask to be sent up to the séance room. Have your camera ready.

Go down Bourbon Street, so you can say you’ve been there. Then explore the many other, better things New Orleans has to offer. Be careful closer to the Canal Street side… It gets a little shooty, especially on weekends.

The line for chicory coffee and beignets is much shorter at Café Beignet than at Café Du Monde. Beignets are delicious, but they’re just heavily powdered, hole-less donuts. They are also just shy of 600 calorie for three of them. You’re welcome.

Consider taking a carriage tour with some of my favorite coworkers - the mules! Do it on the front end of your trip, so you can learn about the city’s history, and more importantly, where some of the best food spots are.

There are many plantations a short drive downriver from New Orleans. I’d suggest going to the Whitney Plantation, the only one in Louisiana dedicated to the legacy of slavery.

Stroll along the Mississippi, and watch that muscular brown water roll by. Enjoy a cocktail while you’re doing it - you can drink on the streets here.

Drink a LOT of water. Most people are unfamiliar with this level of debauchery, and are probably walking for much longer than they are used to. Don’t be the schmuck who keels over from dehydrated drunkenness. (They are snickered at as the ambulance whisks them away on the fumes of their truncated vacation.) Take a pedicab for longer distances. Save your aching tootsies, cuz you'll be on the streets again tomorrow. New Orleanians are outside LOTS, not just walking, but dancing.

Since I live here, I don’t stay in hotels. However, I do have a little place in my courtyard. It’s not on Airbnb, because Airbnb sucks. Zap me a message, maybe you can stay.

Finally, if you DO stay in an Airbnb, please make sure that the owner of the house lives on the property, and for the love of all that's holy and un – steer clear of neighborhood-destroyers like Stay Alfred or Sonder. The marvelous music and indigenous culture you're here to experience are being pushed out of New Orleans by these monsters. Short term rentals are killing my city. Your best bet is to stay in a lovely hotel where all the things you want to do are in stumbling distance of where you’re going to sleep.

These suggestions are just for the French Quarter, I haven’t even touched on the cemeteries, or uptown, or the swamp tours, or…or… You’ll see.

Be careful, eat too much, dance too hard, and enjoy yourself!
