My New Orleans “personal pages”: friends, family, and clients…

  « Andrew Brott's Sketch Book Site

(Artist Photos)

My New Orleans “personal pages”: friends, family, and clients… In my “paper” sketchbook, the technical data and process picks start at the front; pictures of friends, clients, and studio visitors start in the back. As this site serves as my sketchbooks digital back up (another Katrina lesson), these pictures come from my "personal pages" at the end of my books… To those of you pictured, if you wish to have your photo and or name removed, please send me an email so I can remove it ASAP.
Warmest Regards,

Katrina flooded us with 3 feet of water, and NHS's headquarters were used as a boat launch. My new studio is on the right side of this street. For more details please go to my "Katrina Tale" located on this site.

Freret Street is a very busy corridor that runs all the way from the river to downtown. It parallels Magazine Street and Saint Charles Avenue, and bisects Tulane and Loyola University.

I owe everything I am today to my beautiful wife Kellie. She is our Business Manager, and the one who runs the show. She also has a full time gig as Loyola Universities Costume Director, is a magazine writer, and manages author/editor Beverly Church...

What Katrina cost me in pain, she made up for in the joy of working with the"purest" people in the world. People helping people. Thanks will never be enough; I am a better person from losing my studio. Want to help? Give to CERF!!!! Call: 802-229-2306

Jimmy has his Masters in Cellular and Molecular Biology, so he works with me. I am blessed to have know and worked with him for many years. He is now a "Andy's Kid"; and elite group unfortunate enough to have been corrupted by my art spazyness...

Another corrupted "Andy's Kid", is Andy Pollack. I can't say enough good things about him and his family. He is "family", and I'm very proud. He began with me as a Loyola intern 6 (?) years ago, and just purchased his own studio in New Orleans.

Wish I could say good things about Anna and James Lacalzo visit, but damn did they find the "cup" on Freret Street to be half empty. Go their site, and type in Freret St. for their slanted view; hopefully they will show some positives next time...

Cornelia Carey visits the entire Gulf Area affected by Katrina and Rita often, and knows more about our recovery than we do. Being this is a "Glass" site let me remind y'all that CERF is "our" organization and needs your support!!!

Glass artist Christian Stock and his family live 10 blocks down the street from me; the water came 2 inches of coming into their home. Thankfully, Francine kept her job at Tulane (many were fired) and Christian is back at work.

My very good friend and partner in glass crime Brandon Mansel, has survived remarkably well on a diet of painting many pictures, playing music, and loving stuffed animals. He also demos at U.T. Arlingtons new Hot Glass Studio for peanuts...

Sad ending to my old studio...

Insurance, or the lack there of (we can't get another "builders risk" policy), has forced us to tear down our 100 year old studio located down the block on Freret St. It is greatly missed...

I stop here for a bit..
