Street Napoleon by Shay Semple

(Guest Review: RObert Dayton) (order from isthismyworld@yahoo.com) Candles abound. In fact, many of these full colour painted portraits look like they were candle lit. Numerous deformed variations of Klaus Kinski peer out incandescent and clandestine from the darkness, costumed for various roles that he took for the money. Thumbing a nose at modern white fear, there are also various revisionist takes on Blacula. As well as  a cat nonchalantly caught up in spider webbing that keeps right on walking, a coupla pen ‘n’ inkers with a  bit of a Pettibon vibe, and lotsa hand brushed street poetry. Moooooooody funny!
