George Rodrigue’s works include three posters for the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which feature portraits of Louis Armstrong, Pete Fountain and Al Hirt. More recently and worldwide he is known for his creation of the Blue Dog portraits and paintings. The Blue Dog was made popular by Absolut Vodka in 1992, when Rodrigue was honored as an Absolut Vodka artist, joining famous artists such as Andy Warhol. The Blue Dog was used by both Absolut Vodka and the Xerox Corporation through national ad campaigns, featuring the beloved blue-hued, spaniel terrier with its’ signature white nose and yellow eyes. Her symbol helped coin the term Blue Dog Democrat, which refers to a conservative member of the Democratic Party. Rodrigue has galleries in Aspen, Colorado, Carmel, California, Lafayette, Louisiana and New Orleans, Louisiana.
