I love this guys stuff, but must ask (and this will sound very thick!) does he do it digitally on computer, or airbrush off computer? (if that still exists)

[eyectopus]

Its all handpainted as far as I know.

FIFTY24SF Gallery Presents “Mythographic Vicissitudes” by Ron English
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 8, 2009 from 7–9 P.M.

DOWNSTAIRS GALLERY: “Mythographic Vicissitudes” by Ron English

For “Mythographic Vicissitudes,” Ron created a series of paintings based on variations on modern mythologies. Applying a sense of reverence to his patented mash of religion, history and art, English gives equal weight to all mythologies, from Jesus to Bigfoot to Expressionism. “Loch Ness Starry Night” depicts the emergence of the monster as seen through the eyes of Vincent Van Gogh. “Bigfoot in the Garden of the Gods” exposes the mythical missing link in his Colorado Springs lair, the epicenter of American hardcore Christianity. Marilyn and a mysterious Mickey Mouse, his face obscured by a gas mask, are bathed in Toulouse-Lautrecian light. And, a portrait of Jesus, the fisher of boys, fills in the messiah’s missing years.

Ron English, a New York-based painter, billboard liberator, and toy designer has exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide his unique sensibility, in which the familiar is reflected through funhouse mirrors into something startlingly new. He is the subject of an award-winning documentary, “POPaganda, the Art and Crimes of Ron English.” His commentary and art were featured in the hit movie “Supersize Me,” he served as host for the UK’s Sky TV series “The Other America,” and he has made numerous appearances on television in the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan.

The show features new drawings and paintings and “Mythographic Vicissitudes” will be on display at
the lower level of the FIFTY24SF Gallery from January 8 - 29, 2009.

The X-ray GID one? I kind of like it - it scares my pets.

[Gentle Mental]

a bump for da fans - the show's be on in a few days...

[Happy Shopper]

Looking forward to getting this. I've wanted one of his prints for ages, and the Charlie Brown figure will sit lovely next to my Pink Cyclops one.

Just got a call from home telling me my order from Garageworks for the Ron English Toy and print arrived Has anyone else's turned up as I wont be seeing mine until tomorrow...got any pics ??

[rosstierney]

[cashman]

mmm the toy looks a lot cheaper than the pics on the site

[spenie1975]

Like a toy for a dog.

[fielder]

Yeah, I got one and was a bit disappointed seeing as it cost nearly 80 quid with the terrible exchange rate! I think the lighting on the pre-release pictures made it look much better. But it's a cool thing to have. Really like the look of Ross's print.

[cashman]

think I may be asking for a refund

[dundun]

WOW! Completely disappointed at how cheap the toy looks. Glad I waited. The print looks great though.

[eyectopus]

I saw the toy on a few other sites and was very p|ssed off with it. As was said earlier it looks like a dogs toy, going by the cheap wrapper. I wonder if it is a take on an old Charlie Brown toy that came like that? Saying that, I would have still bought it, but was expecting something nicer.

[neale]

Not liking those, agree the toy looks cheap
