CLOUD by Ron English
October 1st 09, 18:37
We’ve been huge fans of Ron English’s work here at SLAMXHYPE, having seen his billboard hijackings and modern surrealist paintings over the years, Ron English has taken his art into new heights (literally), tagging across the sky the word ‘CLOUD’ five times across lower Manhattan.
