Good luck trying to figure this one out. Popagandist Ron English takes a turn for the surreal in his latest, website-promoting short: “How to explain the art world to a dead hare.”
Billboard liberator and popagandist, Ron English, was in McAllen, Texas this past weekend to discuss an upcoming exhibit and can now update his resume to include bovine bombing. He just couldn’t resist doing some public art, so he unleashed on these live canvasses. Let the faux outrage begin!

‘Abraham Obama’ Hung On White House Christmas Tree
Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey interviewed the First Family for her “Christmas at the White House” special and while touring the presidential residence, the camera panned in on a particularly eye-catching ornament adorned with the artwork of billboard liberator and Popagandist Ron English. A decoupage of his iconic “Abraham Obama” was spotted on one of the 27 Christmas trees as 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Michelle Obama said they sent out blank ball ornaments to “nonprofits and such” where they were decorated and sent back.

Billboard liberator and Popagandist, Ron English, was responsible for hiring the skywriting plane that spelled out the word “cloud” five times over the city this morning. In an interview earlier this year, English said “these actual clouds will be for sale,” but there’s still no word on pricing for the artistic condensation.

Just minutes ago, a skywriting plane flew over the city, leaving a puffy trail of text in its wake: the word “cloud” repeated over and over again. Here’s a photo from Crown Heights of the unidentified plane’s aerial scrawl, also reportedly seen somewhere in Queens. The performance is reminiscent of the cloud drawings artist Vik Muniz flew over Manhattan in 2000, but it’s not clear who’s responsible, just that their work was blown away as quickly as it came. Update: Artist Ron English took credit for the sky tagging project.
