George Rodrigue enjoyed print-making since his early days as an artist. Years ago, his original Cajun works were reproduced as lithographs for events and festivals. However, his first Blue Dog silkscreens began in 1990 under a different process. The Blue Dog prints in most cases are unrelated to the paintings. There are of course exceptions to that rule because on occasion a few Blue Dog silkscreens were produced from paintings. Rodrigue’s silkscreen history is complicated and dense and he also does not mass produce posters, cheap prints, and giclees. Today, the Estate of George Rodrigue continues to release Rodrigue designed images as silkscreens with a special stamp. Read this blog entry if you would like to know more about Rodrigue print-making as an art form. Rodrigue made hundreds of editions of prints over the last 20 years and they are not all displayed here.

Blue Dog 2016 Wall Calendar Blue Dog 2017 Wall Calendar Why Is Blue Dog Blue? A Blue Dog Christmas on December 18, 2014 at 7:59 AM, updated A scheme to sell a $50,000 George Rodrigue original Blue Dog painting at a holiday bargain price on Craigslist -- with instructions during negotiations not to contact Rodrigue's gallery -- has landed two Gentilly men in jail, police said. Jared Thomas, 21, and Jarred Tervalon, 23, were arrested last week after authorities said the childhood friends tried to peddle stolen pieces of the late artist's work. It was hardly a heist worthy of the jet-setting art thieves in "The Thomas Crown Affair." 

Authorities said the men were caught in a sting operation that ended when Thomas pulled the five-figure, highly recognizable Rodrigue artwork out of the trunk of a Honda Civic at a Metairie shopping mall. Thomas and Tervalon were each booked with possession of stolen property in connection with the theft of six Blue Dog pieces worth an estimated $75,000, according to police and court documents. Authorities said they recovered all the stolen artwork, including the hearts motif mixed-media Blue Dog original valued at $50,000. Digital Video Camera 136Police said the men offered the piece on Craigslist for $5,500, so long as no questions were asked.Infant Winter Formal Dresses According to sources familiar with the investigation, a prospective buyer, already wary when the Craigslist seller quickly came off his original $15,000 list price, grew more suspicious when the seller advised him not to contact Rodrigue Studio, the French Quarter gallery at 730 Royal St., where the majority of Blue Dog pieces are displayed and sold.Bamboo Flooring T Bar

The would-be buyer called the gallery to ask about the painting's legitimacy. When the gallery discovered the piece was missing from its inventory, New Orleans police were called and a fictitious buy was set up in cooperation with the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. The seller wanted to make the exchange at the parking lot of Clearview Shopping Center in Metairie, and became even more enthusiastic when a second buyer -- an undercover JPSO detective -- contacted him with a higher offer to bring $6,000 in cash for the piece. Col. John Fortunato, spokesman for JPSO, said that when Thomas arrived at the meeting place the night of Dec. 10 and pulled the stolen artwork from the trunk of his 2012 Honda Civic, detectives converged and made the first arrest in the case. The second arrest didn't take long. According to an NOPD search warrant application, Thomas identified Tervalon, described in the report as "a childhood friend," as the co-conspirator from whom he had received the artwork.

He told police, according to the report, that the two had agreed to split proceeds from its sale. Thomas told investigators he did not know the artwork was stolen and that "he believed Tervalon was authorized to possess the painting, based on his affiliation with his grandfather's business," according to the report. Investigators said they learned Tervalon had access to the artwork while working for his grandfather, Eldridge Tervalon, an independent contractor who has done custom framing work for the Rodrigue Studios in New Orleans and Lafayette for more than 20 years. According to the court documents, Thomas told investigators he had sold a Blue Dog print for Jarred Tervalon months earlier, splitting the proceeds with him. Thomas also let detectives search his phone, the warrant says. Investigators said they found a text message from "Terv," indicating plans to bring five more paintings or prints from Lafayette for Thomas to sell. A task force of police and sheriff's deputies from Orleans and Jefferson parishes executed a search warrant Dec. 11 at 11:30 p.m. on Eldridge Tervalon's home in the 5700 block of Vermillion Boulevard in Gentilly.

During that search, according to his arrest report, Jarred Tervalon "admitted to investigators that the stolen artworks in question were being concealed inside his grandfather's van parked in the driveway, and that he had put them there without his grandfather's knowledge with the intent of selling them illegally." Police said five Blue Dog works, valued at $5,000 apiece, were recovered from the van. All the artwork was recovered undamaged, officials said. "We are grateful for the hard work of the police, who worked tirelessly to find and return the stolen artwork," Jacques Rodrigue, the artist's son and executive director of the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts, said in a written statement. "Rodrigue Studios is the exclusive dealer for artwork by George Rodrigue. We advise all buyers on the secondary market to exercise caution." Messages left with Eldridge Tervalon were not returned Wednesday, and no one answered the door at the family's home. Jacques Rodrigue said the gallery's relationship with the framing expert would not be damaged or ended by the grandson's arrest.

This was at least the second major theft of artwork created by Rodrigue, the New Iberia native who gained international fame in the 1990s with his iconic Blue Dog series and who died Dec. 14, 2013, after a long battle with cancer. In June 2010, a man took $40,000 worth of Blue Dog artwork, plucking two small, framed pieces off a wall near the rear of the Royal Street gallery and leaving with them hidden in a shopping bag. Police recovered the paintings days later after a tipster directed them to a garbage bag hidden in a shed on North Broad Street. Police named Lee Szakats, a man with a criminal record of high-end shoplifting, as their suspect but he eluded arrest in the case. "We've had issues before in the past with prints being stolen and sold on eBay, and they always put a very low value on the print," George Rodrigue said after the 2010 theft. "People never steal this kind of thing just to hang on their wall. These things usually turn up in 10 to 20 years." Staff writer Michelle Hunter contributed to this report.
