STATUS FACTORY: Ron English x Opera Gallery

"Ron English and Opera Gallery present "Status Factory," a surreal assemblage of the artist's most well-known character motifs alive in their natural habitat, a camo-arcadian warholian times square circus sideshow mash-up barely contained by the silver walls of 382 West Broadway."
Ron English is an amazing artist and his pop art style has coined its own name as POPAGANDA, and is one of my favorite styles of art. Here are just a select few pieces from the collection that i hand picked myself, definitely go check out the rest. Link posted after the jump.

The story Of Craigslist

Craigslist
The Story of Craig Keshawn Jackson:Hustleman turned Entrepreneur
April 23rd, 1995, after being released from prison for the third time onto the rough streets of south Compton, 20 year old Craig Jackson set out to change his life and get an honest job. Unfortunately, Craig could not escape his past. Being unemployed for 3 months Craig decided to take matters into his own hands. Not wanting to sell drugs the next best thing he could do was sale Cds & Dvds. Offering the lowest prices he started building clientele in barbershops & hair shops all throughout Compton and eventually spreading to a few shops in Inglewood and Long Beach. Overtime Craig made a Bootleg Monopoly in his community. Being in such high demand the people at the barbershops would write a list of wants and it was deemed “Craigslist”. First solely asking for different movies & cds, but every once in awhile he would get inquiries on TV’s, furniture, etc. Being the entrepreneur he was he decided to expand his hustle to whatever the people needed.
In Early 1998, Craig’s best friend Rashad was released from county jail in connection with the same charges as Craig. While incarcerated Craig’s friend had taken a few Computer classes and decided that it would be beneficial to Craig’s “business” to start a message board for people can post from anywhere what they needed. It was first called “CraigGOTit” but didn’t really go by as well as they wanted. But Craig still made his rounds around the shops to pick up the “Craigslists”. On one unrecorded day one unkown young boy suggested “Aye Homie U should Call your messageboard Craigslist that would make you an OG!”. Something must have clicked in Craig’s mind because he immediately changed the name. And luckily the messageboard caught on and his audience literally grew over night! And ever since then its Been History~
This message board eventually grew into the 8th most popular website known to date www.craigs list.com.
Craig & Rashad are both mutli-millionaires………………………… still living in Compton.

Speech To the "Fly"

Found yet another one of my writings. This might be one of the oldest being dated in mid 2006. Pretty much a speech or letter if you will to the "fly" people. Even tho now fly is a term id rarely use to describe a persons fashion sense nowadays but back then it was all i knew lol

En light of the commencement of a new day, A man rid of the pressure of fitting in but equipped with the mind of being peculiar. No longer wanting to be the missing piece of the puzzle but the image in which the puzzle is molded after. Not conforming to the Ideal, but revolutionizing the Prototype. So now odd becomes in, and what out becomes trend, Until the world is in so much chaos it seems perfect. Where the clouds are the new ground, and for us distant stars seem close, Because it is us who can formulate an attire to defy gravity.
See you on a Distant Cloud,
My Flyy People

Dancers In Motion.

When I first seen these posted on the internet I thought they were paintings, but actually they are photographs by photographer Bill Wadman. Amazing right?! Its just a type of elegance infused int the lines of motion in these photos that really bring out the essences and flawlessness of a trained dancer. As brillant as these pictures are i couldn't not blog them! (excuse the double negative lol)
