About this Artist

One of the most prolific and recognizable artists alive today, Ron English has bombed the global landscape with unforgettable images, on the street, in museums, in movies, books and television. English coined the term POPaganda to describe his signature mash-up of high and low cultural touchstones, from superhero mythology to totems of art history, populated with his vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters, including MC Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie “Supersize Me,” and Abraham Obama, the fusion of America’s 16th and 44th Presidents, an image widely discussed in the media as directly impacting the 2008 election. Other characters carousing through English’s art, in paintings, billboards, and sculpture include three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls and skull grinning popular cartoon characters, blending stunning visuals with the bitingly humorous undertones of America’s Premier Pop Iconoclast.A graphic designer and illustrator from the horse crazed, bourbon fueled land of Kentucky. Growing up in the western part of the state, he developed a love for art at an early age, mainly copying the pictures out of comic books. It's not until high school where his interest in music inadvertently led him to the discovery of graphic design - by way of concert posters. From there, he moved to Lexington to study at the University of Kentucky, where in 2012, he received his Bachelors of Arts. After a lengthy stint at a corporate greeting card company, he decided to hang up his figurative tie and tackle the world of freelancing where he's been ever since. Andrew still resides in Lexington with his wife, Shelley and their cleverly named cat, Kitty.This profile is a mix of all designer toys made by the artists.
