Romeo Lee has stylistic ancestry and it's Jaime de Guzman! I noticed this on this painting (directly above, center) hanging in the dark 4th floor hallway of the CCP. I don't know what it meant, it's pretty much symbolic, yet it looked like either a punk or a metal album cover. The strokes are quite similar - fuzzy , the figures both looking like they were lifted from Tales from The Crypt, only Lee's more vividly colored and more fantastical. It's a whole new way of looking and liking this quickly- dismissed-and-vaulted-into-the-SR-folder painting of Jaime de Guzman. though I wouldn't know about his other works.

History is getting to be so humdrum, always repeating itself, sometimes in useless quacking (I don't mean Romeo's...just some evil generalizing), but it's all good. Wonder when bellbottoms will be en vogue.
