From NY Times circa 2012,

"During most of those years Mr. Flood — a founder of the underground 1980s band Culturcide — never sold enough work to say goodbye to his day jobs (Texaco office worker, elementary school teacher’s assistant, video clerk, museum assistant at the Menil Collection.) But now he is getting to have the cred and a career too. He has been represented for the past four years in New York by the Zach Feuer Gallery and since 2007 in Europe by Peres Projects, and paintings he has created using lace — a body of work that some have called "spinster abstraction" — have become highly sought. Beginning July 18 he will present a town house full of little-seen work from the 1980s in "The Hateful Years," at the high-end gallery Luxembourg & Dayan."[3]
