 Ron English Obama Lincoln Busts  I'm really liking these. Nice to see someone else doing these sorts of busts.

Re: Ron English Obama Lincoln Busts I like his 2D art, but I don't think his paintings translate very well into 3D sculpts - especially in cheap vinyl.

Re: Ron English Obama Lincoln Busts 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.

Re: Ron English Obama Lincoln Busts 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.

I'm sure these are crazy $$$! $200 crazy to be exact! 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.

Re: Ron English Obama Lincoln Busts 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.

Re: Ron English Obama Lincoln Busts 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.
