To celebrate the South Park 15th anniversary, contemporary and abstract artist Ron English has decided to pay homage in his own way. The artist has revamped many cartoon characters and historic icons in his works of art before, and his latest is no different.
For the South Park 15th anniversary, Ron English crafted a realistic rendition of character Kenny and set him on fire. The character on the show literally dies in every episode, so to keep with tradition of the show, Ron set the character ablaze.
