He appeared for an in person symposium for the public at two separate showcases, explaining each art piece which was created by being photographed in the dark using a special clear light producing drum stick, and capturing the rhythms to develop into each abstract artwork piece. Lombardo himself selected and named the dozen pieces within the collection. Each piece is numbered and signed.

D. Randall Blythe’s Show Me What You’re Made Of Exhibit Opens
If you told me sometime in 2000 that the singer of Lamb of God, whom I saw in Poughkeepsie NY opening up for GWAR, would have his own art exhibition 15 years later I might not have believed you. Tonight we were in downtown Manhattan at Sacred Gallery NYC experiencing just that. A reception to salute of the opening of D. Randall Blythe’s Show Me What You’re Made Of: A Special Photography Exhibition was held. The event was packed with fans and friends of the man. He was around for the entire evening, answering everyone’s questions about each piece, recreated as large format fine art prints for this gallery setting with custom mades frames. His work is very versatile: going from light-hearted to some very dark and personal pieces. It’s an extremely in-depth look into the multifarious mind of Blythe. On the eve of the opening, Randy remarked about his passion for photography and the journey that led to the creation of this collection:
“I’ve been lucky enough to travel literally around the world several times for my job, and for the last few years I have carried a camera with me everywhere I go. Show Me What You’re Made Of will showcase fine art prints of what I consider to be some of the most striking images that I have collected, both at home and during my travels. The body of work is quite diverse, and in an attempt to highlight that diversity, all the photos will be shown in custom made frames made of reclaimed wood, adding to the individuality of each piece. The frames are made by my friend, Richmond, VA musician Greta Brinkman (former bassist for Moby, The Deborah Harry Band, White Cross, and currently with RVA doom merchants Drug Lord). I am especially pleased to have my first exhibit at Sacred Arts, a gallery with such a solid connection to my community- the underground music and arts scene. I hope to see as many of you as possible at the opening, so come on out, check out some photography, and be sure to say hi to me and Greta!”
When asked if this exhibit was going to tour, Randy said if another gallery asked, he would consider it. Show Me What You’re Made Of… is showing at Sacred Gallery NYC from now until June 30th. See it while you can, it’s worth it.
