Joey the Clown Lombardo Painting

I was inspired while doing my clown paintings by the Chicago mobster Joey the Clown Lombardo. I put bullet holes over Italian colors in the background because he was dodging bullets all his life. I sold this one to the Federal prosecutor in Chicago when they put Joey in prison. I had my 15 minutes of fame when I was interviewed on TV in Chicago about it. "While researching this intelligence report, the I-Team found a painting of Lombardo for sale on the internet. The North Carolina artist, Gerhardt Isringhaus, tells us his girlfriend has a "clown phobia" and that's why he painted it. Isringhaus says he painted bullet holes in the background, figuring Lombardo has dodged gunfire most of his life. The artist grew up in St. Louis and says his next door neighbor was a seamstress who made wedding gowns for Chicago mob families.
