Ron English is an outlaw of sorts, known for converting cultural icons into agitprop creations that make us pause and reconsider the objects, cultural figures, and packaged goods around us. But don't for a second think that his status as an icon of the art world means that he isn't still a threat; the artist will always be exploring the fraught relationship between advertising, art, and activism.
