Brandan "BMike" Odums is a visual artist here in New Orleans who is behind some of the city’s most iconic murals. One of the most famous is that of the Katrina girl on the front of his StudioBe 36,000 square foot gallery in the Bywater.

While Odums has worked with many major brands and famous individuals, he is teaming up this year with Raising Cane's to debut a new Mardi Gras mural at one of the restaurant's locations, which will also be used across a multitude of swag and other items throughout the Carnival season.

We chat with Odums about his art, what inspires him and what the collaboration was like between two Louisiana titans.
