Original Grin
Through his highly subversive art Ron English (b. 1959) has bombed the global landscape with striking and often unsettling imagery. He coined the term "POPaganda" to describe his signature and darkly satirical renderings of corporate branding icons.

His cameo on The Simpsons secured his position as America's premier pop iconoclast.
