D. Dominick Lombardi is an artist, writer and curator. He was born in the Bronx in 1954, and currently resides in Valhalla, NY. “In my youth, I was fascinated by Mars Attacks trading cards, Mad or Cracked magazines, or anything looking like or related to Big Daddy Roth’s Rat Fink, 1965 Fleer Weird-Ohs cards, and pretty much everything in that genre. In the summer of 1968, when I was 13, Zap comix brought all that to a head in a very unfamiliar, counter culture, underground narrative. That’s when I first saw the work of R. Crumb, an aesthetic that has influenced me on some level throughout my entire career.”
