· No offense to the rock posters wallpapering Civilian's front room -- they are undeniably cool; props to Nick Pimentel and El Jefe Design in particular -- but the mini-retrospective of works produced at Alexandria's Hand Print Workshop International hanging in the gallery's rear deserves our undivided attention. Guided by screen print czar Dennis O'Neil, a stream of artists, many of them Russian, have produced works on paper that are unconventional in surface and content. Humor, both bawdy and black, reverberate in the prints of Alexander Djikia and Igor Makarevich, while local artist James Huckenpahler used minuscule glass beads to create finishes that look like flesh.
