Death and the Eternal Forever

This collection of the visually astonishing and bitingly funny work of fine artist and street art legend Ron English explores his belief that all art is a futile attempt to cheat death, and death is the thing that gives all art meaning. Featuring more than 170 of Ron's paintings, sculpture, and vinyl figures, it teems with fantastically twisted creatures, from three-eyed rabbits to udderly delicious cowgirls.

Ron English has appeared as himself in such movies as Supersize Me Exit Through the Gift Shop, as well episode of the Simpsons, Exit through the Quik-E-Mart, playing himself as a member of an all-star street art gang. Ron has also done significant commercial and collaborative work with such brands as Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, Puma, Absolut, Burton, Hurley, Scion and many others. He has designed album covers for Slash, Chris Brown, the Dandy Warhols, and others.
