”Festival International de Louisiane doesn't seem so far away now that this year's lineup and artwork are out. This year's art features artist Tommy Hughes, who designed the pin, poster and skateboards for this year's festival. The skateboards, a new addition, were Hughes' idea, featuring 10 different designs that were derived from the original artwork he created. The local artist said his inspiration for the poster and pin come from years of going to the festival. "The different nationalities of people, music, stage settings, interesting instruments, flags and streetwalkers all had a hand in the design of the artwork," he said.”
