I'm really liking these. Nice to see someone else doing these sorts of busts.

I like his 2D art, but I don't think his paintings translate very well into 3D sculpts - especially in cheap vinyl.

WoW, what’s next, Ninja Turtles busts with mixed image of the real painters face ?
No originality at all in this, + Obama is hardly discernable in there.

I'd have to agree on both sentiments.

Looks like maybe the head is articulated at the neck...not to say it redeems this at all, but that's a swell innovation on the 'bust' idea.

Or something.

Election Day 2008 Ron English's Abraham Obama 16" vinyl bust sculpted by Vin Teng. The bust is based on the Ron English's Abraham Obama poster that is a Pop-inspired bit of street art. The white version is pretty much sold out as they were selected by Democratic party officials. The edition size of each color way is limited to only 50 pieces worldwide.

"Of course, he had ears..." SLAP!

Took me forever to hunt that GID one down after I got the pink one, but it was worth it. They both rule super hard.

Another bust that doesn't suck:

The Abrama one, on the other hand...

Yeah..I agree. His paintings are great but they do not translate at all into 3d toys/sculpts.

that alien bust would look way better if it didn't have the writing at the bottom...

gotta be the best bust I've ever seen as far as bust's are concerned...

the painting (and prints of it) of lincoln/obama was striking visually, and politically/historically interesting and relevant.

i dont think the bust has nearly the same effect. ron english's mastery of the brush did not seem to translate into sculpture.

i like his work and the print but it didnt transfer well to a bust. It hardly looks like it. I would still get it if i had the 200 to spend right now.
