Who Is Morneaux...

Morneaux walks the old streets of New Orleans where

history never quite stays buried...
He is the keeper of masks...

the collector of what people cast aside...

the watcher who notices the things everyone else steps over.
He listens...he remembers...

and every mask carries something with it...

a story...a secret...a warning...
a piece of history someone thought was gone.
His world is fiction...

but it is rooted deeply in the factual history of New Orleans.

Real streets...real buildings...real people...real events...

and documented history are woven through his stories alongside memory...mystery...and imagination.
I research the places Morneaux walks because the truth

already living inside New Orleans is powerful enough.

I do not need to replace it...
I build beside it.
His world was born from my love of New Orleans...

from the architecture...the music...the people...the old walls...

the shadows...the memories...and the history beneath the history.
Here you will find his stories...his songs...

the places that shaped them...the history woven through them...

the relics he gathers...and the truths still breathing beneath the streets.
Some doors lead into the past...
Some lead into memory...
Some lead somewhere darker...
Walk with Morneaux... and see what he finds.
