About Dumb Won:

The painter Dumb Won was born Paul Heath on September 2, 1976. A renaissance man for the slacker generation, if he didn’t focus so much on art, music and having fun, he could have been an astronaut. Although he has no use for George W or Kenny G, Paul otherwise loves music as well as coffee, animals, and good humor (not necessarily in that order). Raised all over upstate New York before settling in arts-rich Kingston, he has been re-focusing his energies to concentrate on being an artist first, a commitment that is getting him recognized and his work sold and collected. His colorful, graffiti-inspired comic-book style of painting pokes ironic fun at himself, his highly esoteric, tragicomic, coffee-fueled lifestyle, and the world. He is currently celebrating nearly 20 years of art shows; his first solo show was in Schenectady, N.Y. in 1993. Although he never wears purple, he did attend the unsustainably expensive San Francisco Art Institute for a year. He later attained more affordable enlightenment from the equally fine Dutchess County Community College, from which he graduated in 1997 with an Associates Degree in Commercial Art. He has remained in the Hudson Valley ever since, and is still loving it.

Ron English is a well-known painter, whose work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the globe. While his agit-pop paintings hang in galleries around the globe, English has been “liberating” billboards as an outlet for his work and to protest corporate America’s paid self-expression. He has pirated over a thousand billboards over the last twenty years, replacing existing advertisements with his own hand-painted subvertisements.

We are some lucky gals at Dream in Plastic and had the pleasure of meeting the artist himself when he moved to the area! We are also grateful that we were able to hold ourselves together. Managing to not faint in his legendary and super-cool presence, we now bring you a few select items for sale from the personal stock of English himself! A lot of these items are hard to find these days, as they were made in limited amounts and quickly snatched up by Ron fans worldwide.

Check out some of Ron’s creations in person in Beacon, or in the website.
