Ron English Sends Chris Brown To Outer Space In New Collabo (DETAILS)

Posted December 5, 2011 by Rachel Hislop for Global Grind Staff

 

Ron English's name may not have a familiar ring to it, but if you have seen the cover of Chris Brown's F.A.M.E album, then you surely know his work.

Ron is famous for his artistry that depicts the colorful, mish-mashed faces of iconic members of pop culture, including Mickey Mouse, Marilyn Monroe and most recently, Chris Brown.

With Miami Art Basel in full swing, the timing is right for the two to release their collaboration, an eccentric collection called the Dum English astronaut series, a line of necklaces and vinyl toys as well as a sculpture on display at Miami's Wynwood Walls.

Ron and Chris chose an astronaut to represent CB in the collaborative endeavor because the two felt that an astronaut was an accurate representation of what it is to be famous: the whole world is watching, but you're in a space alone.

The designer astronaut toys will be available at specialty stores, and the necklaces at retail stores. If you have an extra, say, $90,000 lying around after you cop those, you can consider purchasing Ron's original F.A.M.E painting!
