Here is a review by art critic, Shinyribs

It is true what they say about this man, Romano. He is the many tendriled creature of which the book of revelations speaks of rising in the end times to charm us until it is too late to realize he is of the dark energy and has encircled our world with the great unraveling of christendom....wait a minute, wrong guy, sorry Tony, at least you got a newsprint edition with yer likeness pasted in it.
