Blue Dog - Note Cards [Misc. Supplies]

George Rodrigue (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 2000

Four new paintings, commissioned expressly for this calendar, usher in each of the four seasons and are accompanied by George Rodrigue's own seasonal musings and reflections. A total of sixty unforgettable Blue Dog paintings were carefully selected to celebrate the myriad moods, incarnations, and environments of the ever-changing Blue Dog. Calendar pages are packed with dates of interest for lovers of Cajun culture- from the annual crawfish boil in Lafayette to Mardi Gras to important moments in the Cajun's rich 300-year history.

Special features and innovative design (from the same team behind both Blue Dog books) set this item apart from other engagement calendars: large-format calendarium pages, convenient at-a-glance calendariums for upcoming years, durable hardcover with wire-o binding, among others.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

People has called Rodrigue's blue dog paintings "the hottest fad in popular art since Walter Keane's big-eyed waifs in the 1960s." Folks like Hillary Rodham Clinton and Whoopi Goldberg collect blue dogs, and now images of the adorable little pooch are available to everyone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute cards, September 11, 2000

Great package. I was disappointed with the choice of prints as none of the 5 show Blue Dog in her entirety. Only on the cover of the box do you see all her legs. I heard that the 2001 calendar has been cancelled because of Rodrigue's disgust with the reselling of his stuff on online auctions. These note cards are selling on ebay for over $50 to people that don't know to check amazon.com first. Posters that are still readily available online (Friendship) are selling on ebay for 5 times what they retail for. Always check amazon.com first!

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT LITTLE WORKS OF ART, August 11, 2000

By

This review is from: Blue Dog - Note Cards (Misc. Supplies)

I really like these notecards - weird thing is - i didn't buy them to use them as notecards, but to frame them as a small little series. They look great - the colors are extremely vivid and the pictures placed as a series will brighten up any room.

The box that the cards come in is also useful - it's a sturdy little box that i throw all my change in

This review is from: Blue Dog - Note Cards (Misc. Supplies)

Well, I am glad that I can finally afford to have Blue Dog in my home! I am a big Blue Dog fan, but can't afford gallery prices of Rodrigue's silkscreens. So these cute little cards will soon be framed and on my walls. Like the other reviewer, I just can't part with them to use them as notecards. I love the sturdy little box they come in as well.

And many thanks to reviewer Rob, who lets us know that the Friendship poster can be found for online ordering! Ordered mine this morning!
