Following the gallery’s opening, Rodrigue spent stretches of time working and creating in Carmel, becoming a part of the area’s community. In 2013, the organizers of the Carmel Art \u0026amp; Film Festival selected Rodrigue as the event’s featured artist. To commemorate the occasion, Rodrigue chose a Blue Dog mixed media work on chrome paper, created in 2010, to serve as the festival’s official image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe work features the bust of a Blue Dog silkscreened onto chrome paper with hand-painted embellishments, including flowers and a yellow background. It’s the result of extensive artistic experimentation. To create mixed media works on chrome paper, Rodrigue had to find a paper that could absorb both silkscreen ink and acrylic paint. He eventually found materials that allowed him to execute his vision so thoroughly that he could use the chrome paper as he might a painting’s canvas, saturating the surface with vibrant, colorful designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2024, when \u003cem\u003eBlue: The Life and Art of George Rodrigue\u003c\/em\u003e, the first feature-length documentary about Rodrigue’s career, was in production by WLAE Studios, a New Orleans-based public television station, the Rodrigue family selected this mixed media image as the film’s official promotional image. To coincide with the documentary’s wider release on PBS channels across the country, this mixed media is now available for the first time as an estate-stamped silkscreen print. The Rodrigue family retitled the originally untitled work \u003cem\u003eI’m a Movie Star\u003c\/em\u003e, a title George had used previously. Like the original silkscreen, \u003cem\u003eI’m a Movie Star\u003c\/em\u003e has a chrome paper base, preserving the visual qualities of the original work and marking the first time a Rodrigue mixed media on chrome has been reproduced as a silkscreen print.

Rodrigue began painting red dogs in 1990 to depict the blue dog’s alter ego or sly side. As the painting’s title suggests, here, the red dog represents the blue dog’s bad side. With a yellow background, the painting is made up mostly of primary colors. The blue dogs on either end of \u003cem\u003eThe Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple\u003c\/em\u003e are only partially visible. Rodrigue shows half of their faces, giving the viewer the sense that this line of dogs extends beyond what’s shown on the canvas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShortly after creating the painting, Rodrigue turned the work into a lithograph print. Using a four-color process he typically used for his Cajun posters, Rodrigue produced an edition of prints of \u003cem\u003eThe Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple\u003c\/em\u003e in the early 1990s. However, as Rodrigue deepened his understanding of printmaking, he began making silkscreen prints, requiring skilled print-makers to create different screens to produce each color in a print. As printmaking technology advanced throughout the late 1990s and 2000s, Rodrigue’s prints could use a multi-color process, reflecting a level of detail and complexity once reserved only for his paintings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis release of \u003cem\u003eThe Blues Can Hide a Bad Apple\u003c\/em\u003e uses Rodrigue's preferred silkscreen process, resulting in a high-quality print featuring saturated colors rendered in a way that calls to mind the brushstrokes of an original painting.

The work depicts two Blue Dogs in a landscape, a familiar setting for Rodrigue's work. \u003cem\u003eFred and Lucy\u003c\/em\u003e also highlights Rodrigue's affinity for color. In the painting, Rodrigue used variations of cool-toned colors to create this lush scene. The ground contains both light and dark shades of green, the sky’s different shades of blue give the viewer an opportunity to consider the landscape’s light source, and the two Blue Dogs are done in different shades of blue, adding to the work’s visual appeal.

Fred and Ethel Mertz were the best friends of the titular Lucille Ball and her husband Desi Arnaz. Perhaps the two dogs in this print are different colors because Fred and Lucy were not a couple. Rodrigue often referenced elements of American popular culture in his work, especially popular culture created during the mid 20th century.

According to the appraisal firm, Matthew Clayton Brown, there is a well-established precedent for completing an artist’s edition posthumously—notably with editions from the Estate of Andy Warhol concerning artwork Warhol had created but not yet signed upon his death. In other words, this is not a new print. It is the original Rodrigue edition. Because Rodrigue did not complete signing the run, his estate is completing the numbered series using his official estate stamp, picking up where he left off with #121\/350.
