Every year, the Hammond Regional Arts Center and Krewe of Omega (Mardi Gras organization in Hammond) hold a poster design contest for that year’s Mardi Gras events hosted by the Krewe. I’ve been fortunate to win the contests for the 2024 and 2025 Mardi Gras seasons.

The requirements for the design are that it must include all the text you see on the posters, and it must feature Alligraw, an alligator in a jester’s hat. It’s always fun to have more-or-less free reign on a design, and being able to combine my lettering and illustration skills is a great challenge. Thanks so much to HRAC and the Krewe for selecting my posters. It’s great being able to see my work out and about in the wild!
