Black sculpted the front of his house in Gonzales, La., known locally as
"That House on 44"
And in 2006, upon the triumphant return of the
New Orleans Saints to the Louisiana Superdome after Hurricane Katrina,
Black transformed the house into the "Whooodats" House !
Black also has concrete creations in many locations around
Ascension Parish and South Louisiana
