Ron English once celebrated South Park's anniversary by burning a life-sized Kenny doll and now he's adding to that portfolio with 'Last Supper in South Park.'
Ron English has gone biblical by parodying the Last Supper painting by transforming it to the 'Last Supper in South Park.' The piece depicts Jesus in the middle as he's surrounded by the eccentric foul-mouthed citizens of the cartoon show. Some of the faces that have been included in this hilarious rendition of the famous painting include Kenny, Chef, Mr. Garrison, and ironically -- Satan himself.
Ron English has hand-picked 14 artists who will create their own interpretation of the show to celebrate its 15 years. The exhibit will be on display at Opera Gallery New York from March 28th to April 10th. The show will then travel to Comic Con in San Diego. Fans will also be able to send in their own artwork for this amazing celebration.
