The Dallas native began to make his mark on the art world in the late 1970s and is considered a pioneer to the street art movement. He is also known for coining the term “POPaganda”. In the early 80s before terms like “street art” and “ad takeover” were accepted, English was illegally pasting his satiric works of art over billboards, targeting major companies like McDonald’s, Disney and Camel cigarettes to demonstrate the influence corporations have on our society. English has influenced street art through his demonstration of the liberation of public ad space. He also inspired a generational view when dealing with corporate figures and their influence in our everyday lives.
