NYC-based, photorealistic stencil artist Logan Hicks returns with his biggest works yet and a new technique of anodizing aluminum by burning it with a pigment solution.

Comedy Central tried to “censor” two of Ron English’s sensuous Kenny paintings at the South Park tribute art opening at Opera Gallery last night by hanging them downstairs near the coat rack, according to Ron’s wife Tarssa. Ironically, the network just happened to film the show testimonials in front of one. Will Kenny Boob get blurred when the videos run on Comedy Central’s website? Also, young Mars English sold his first painting I’m Not Fat, I’m Big Boned for $600. “Ron is a proud dad!” said Tarssa. “South Park,” Mar 27 – Apr 10, Opera Gallery, NYC

The characters are nightmarish and humanoid, like the Kenny when English killed him earlier. Seriously. Freaky.
