Synopsis
For a decade, painter Ron English has employed his children, Zephyr and Mars, as artists models, resulting in over one hundred works of art exploring the wild, weird complexities of adulthood through the lens of youthful exuberance. Hilarious, discombobulating, and astonishing in color, tone and breadth, Son of Pop charts the creative symbiosis of family and the artists evolution, measured in output and offspring. The hardcover books design references the classic childrens Little Golden Book motif, complete with line drawn versions of the artists most famous images, a golden spine, and inside cover tags which invite the reader to fill in the line, This Little 9mm Book Belongs to. Son of Pop with a bonus mini-CD with four songs cowritten by English, Brandon Jemeyson, Daniel Johnston, and Wesley Willis
