The Krewe of Okeanos is thrilled and excited to announce Morgan Haberle Egan as the second limited edition Mardi Gras poster artist. Egan has created a colorful and elegant depiction of a woman with a beaded mask, adorned with blind salamander earrings, set among iconic symbols of the San Marcos River including wild rice, a crane, fish, and other water flora.
The original is gouache and acrylic on illustration board and measures approximately 19 inches by 25 inches. The 2021 poster was inspired by the work of Andrea Mistretta who uses masked women in many of her Mardi Gras works. Egan’s original design for the Krewe of Okeanos employs art nouveau elements to create a stunning, vibrant and mysterious celebration of Mardi Gras in San Marcos. The melding of color, design, whimsy, and detail is nothing short of brilliant.
The collectible posters are produced by Bayou Fine Art Imaging of Houston, Texas on archival paper. The limited edition posters will be available to members of the Krewe before they will be available to the general public. There will be two editions available, a signed and numbered edition, and a Remarque edition that will include an original hand drawing on each print. Remarques provide a unique opportunity to acquire an original Egan along with the art-print.
