Krewe of Carrollton, 2007

These are the floats owned by the Krewe of Carrollton. As you may have guessed, they were rented out to other krewes for the 2007 season (Zeus 50th, Druids, Knights of Jason).

I painted all the floats in this historic parade. I did bring in a "speed painter" friend to make the whole process go alot quicker, but the end result was not exactly what I had hoped for. Two of the floats you see below I did entirely on my own. The others were a combination of my work and my friend's work. Mixing styles on one float is probably not a good idea for future paintjobs as it presents alot of unforseen problems. Overall, however, the work is quality work and the props (made by Mardi Gras Decorators) really made the floats look quite good.

I was not able to get photographs of 2 of the floats (New Year's Eve and St. Patrick's day). The St. Patrick's Day float ended up in Thoth in 2007 and as the first float in the Uptown St. Patrick's Day parade as well.
