#1, I love Lombardi, but I have to take issue with you. There's an obvious difference between the Lombardi wanna-be street art/graffiti/McGee/Powers/Bansky/ Cartoon/ draw on loose leaf/pots and pans/hang them in an assortment/Juxtapose schtick, and quality, professional, consistent artists. The reason none of the works ever shown at Lombardi would ever get light of day in a Dberman or Workman type space, is they simply don't have the drive to treat their art as a profession, or be professional. They don't want to anyhow. Anyway, Jan Heaton is ace. I've watched her work develop over the last couple years, it's quite engulfing stuff. Lastly, I like tying Schlitz to the end of a string at Lombardi shows and watching all the kids follow it around... Avast there, ye scallywags, graffiti is the blarney!

Aw Jesus. This shit is terrible. Fingerpaints. That's what this shit is. If you love art, do yourself a favor and go to Radical Nautical. Those artists may not get solo shows but at least their paintings are awesome and not some baby spit on a diaper elementary crap.
