STATUS FACTORY is a hardcover art book presenting new paintings from street art legend Ron English. In his paintings, English perverts and subverts the establishment, poking fun at religion, consumerism, and blind obedience to popular culture. He uses humor as a wake-up call, and renders it with meticulous brush strokes. Ron English populates alternate versions of "The Last Supper" and "Guernica" with cartoon characters, drops camouflaged clowns on dinosaurs, and births incredible creatures from his fertile imagination. Among reinterpretations of familiar characters like Ronald McDonald and Mickey Mouse, you'll find three-eyed rabbits, udderly delicious cowgirls, grinning skulls, and many more. In addition to over 180 images from his paintings, Status Factory includes over 100 photographs of English's street art installations, subverted billboards, and other public art. An afterword by the artist delves into his creative process, explaining how source materials are transformed into his riveting images. Luxuriously printed on heavy art paper, this large-format coffee table book showcases Ron English's art beautifully. A great addition to any art library focused on street art, pop surrealism, graffiti, and painting.

'Rabbbits in Delusionville' is a rock opera that is like post-factual Animal Farm meets Aesop's Fables on LSD. The story of a society that formed as different animals fell down a rabbbit hole and created a world of their own. It is an opera in three acts: Act One Introduces the characters in Delusionville and questions the nature of their society and their places in the social order. Act Two The animals get riled up about the economic disparity and social injustice, rejecting their world of delusion. Act Three A very unusual take on revolution.

Ron English's Fauxlosophy

Carpet Bombing Culture

Through his highly subversive art Ron English (b. 1959) has bombed the global landscape with striking and often unsettling imagery. He coined the term "POPaganda" to describe his signature and darkly satirical renderings of corporate branding icons. Ranging from superhero mythology to pillars of art history, his work is populated with a vast and constantly growing arsenal of original characters such as MC Supersized, the obese fast-food mascot featured in the hit movie Supersize Me; and Abraham Obama, which fused America's 16th and 44th Presidents, an image that was posited by the media as having directly impacted the 2008 election. His cameo on The Simpsons secured his position as America’s premier pop iconoclast. This book is the first complete retrospective of English’s work, compiling his paintings, illustrations, toys, sculpture, street art, and “agit-pop." Additionally, it contains a lengthy and comprehensive interview with the artist conducted exclusively for this publication.
