The Art and Subversion of Ron English.
Ron has been a major player in the New York and worldwide "lowbrow" scene for more than a decade now. His paintings have become his mainstay, but he still makes time to promote a little "parity in advertising". See also his book and documentary.
*Full Disclosure* Ron is a friend of a friend. She used to set up his billboard canvasses and occasionally hang them with him. Interesting write-ups here and here.

This guy is a genius. If you can pass it on, tell him to keep up the good work. And Thanks!

Beautiful and detailed paintings. The colors in this one just amazes me. And I love the billboards, especially the OJ and Kiss Kids ones. Thanks for sharing!
