Ron English is a New-York based Pop-Artist.

He is in the middle of his nationwide tour making murals of “Abraham Obama”, a portrait of Abraham Lincoln fused with presidential hopeful Barack Obama. The tour travels to Boston, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and ends in Denver at the Democratic National Convention.
