Advertisements are mostly aimed at certain people groups or races. However the effects and brainwashing that takes place afterward is not method or recognized. An artist that explores these contents over advertising and the aftermath is shown in his artwork. Ron English is a propaganda genius. Another interesting example would be the type of artwork that is presented as his signature work. This would be the derivative of the film, Super Size Me were he crates the artwork of Ronald McDonald as a morbidly obese clown. Thirdly he does not focus on a street art, his art is featured in billboards and in public places however his main form of art is portraits and computer generated billboard pages, not stenciling such as Banksy, swoon, or borf. Thus clearly identifying his style which is a bit more acceptable than Banksy simply because he has legal permission and his artwork has been featured in films and billboards. However his initial art which started in the 80's was illegal he soon began to use higher forms of advertisement to get his idea across. The ideas that he interprets are usually Mickey Mouse, McDonald, other fast food companies and Marylin Monroe. Thus we can all conclude that Ron English is definitely an artist that uses his skill for the greater good....to open our eyes.
