Wow, I just read that El Capitan died. Nice timing!
Ron English : where to get?
Ron English's paintings/toys/prints are insanely amazing, but his internet presence basically isn't. Anyone have some resources here?
also, this print sold for $100 apiece, edition of 90, 20x24, screenprint
idunno when they were on sale
but wow do i want one

Our influence will be gigantic.
although its not exactly the same, and i doubt they are screenprints due to the price, but here is a site with some ron english pieces.

That looks slick! It's definitely way out of my price range... looks great, though!
Maybe I'll settle for his Popaganda book... I dig a lot of his work, for sure.

I guess, though, we can dispense with Ron's conjecture that he doesn't "think anyone will misinterpret the piece as being disparaging to the troops." (I saw the same thing as Gigantico.)

I see that the military is a place that young men and women turn to for an advancement in their lives, but like the circus? I've never met anyone that joined the circus but I've known many in the military. To say that they were just following what the adults say, and infer that they were child-like in their adult decisions, I would be seriously insulting what they have done. The argument that someone is brainwashed can be used in any situation where the "believer" isn't in line with the "popular" thinking. I'm still not seeing it as something I like, but I think it really depends on the audience, which I expect Ron English has a huge one. The printmaking itself though is amazing, and big props for making something so complex, which is an art itself.

You are writing your own lines dude. Nobody said either of those things.
Pudding can't fill the emptiness inside me! But it'll help.

Really? I keep watching it, the first part at least, and that's what I hear.

I am paraphrasing here, but, he said that back in the day, the circus was a way out. It was a way to escape your small town, life, family, etc. He equates that idea with the way the military brings in people that are looking for a leg up. I think it is hard to argue against the assertion that we have a military made up predominately of poor and working class individuals.

Again, I get the part about the circus. The argument that the folks that make up the military are predomiantly the poor is also reasonable. However, the idea that those in the military were fooled into fighting by people smarter than themselves is not somewhere I would go, that's all. I'm thankful that our forces are still all voluntary, and that people with bigger balls than me, have stepped up to the challenge.
