The poster commemorating the newly formed Krewe of Loup Garou?s inaugural march this Saturday through the Irish Channel places three children shielded only by parasols opposite the infamous Cajun creature of the night ? simultaneously capturing the spirit of the neighborhood, the beloved civic leader the parade will memorialize and the goal of the event?s fundraising effort in her honor.

In the image, a striking public debut for New Orleans-based artist Merrie Morrow, the bright red beast of swampland imagination looms on a high horizon, its expression somewhere between menacing and inviting. Surrounded by banana leaves and white birds, the three children face the loup garou stoically, their arms linked in camaraderie as parasols protect them on either side.

?They look like they have a connection with the loup garou, a little bit,? Morrow said.?
