ARCHIVE : THE JOURNEY OF THE STAR SKULL

Ron English’s Star Skull has been represented in many of his paintings and has become iconic to his work. Twisting society’s view of mortality, the Star Skull very much signifies the “stars in our eyes”; society’s undying obsession for fame and recognition that outlives our bodies.

English has been producing successful designer vinyl toy runs since 2006. As of right now Ron is in the middle of producing his “Cereal Killers” Series of designer vinyl toys. With a high demand for a 3 dimensional Star Skull, Ron reached out to YOU via Kickstarter in hopes to produce the Star Skull before the completion of his current production series. We received an amazing response from our followers and our Kickstarter Campaign was funded! Join us on a journey through the entire process of the Star Skull, from the original sculpt to the final product, you can read it all here!

Ron started by sculpting. He prefers to solve all problems he may run into in 3D before creating a turnaround drawing. He calls this his “crude sculpt” and does this so that the skull reads as “formed by nature” as opposed to “formed by a drawing”.
