First Fat Tony will come in the above OG edition, limited to 500 pieces with smaller editions to follow soon after. We will of course keep you posted. (Via Vinylpulse)

Artist Ron English teamed up with General Idea to produce the ‘Cathy Cowgirl’ music video. Produced for Ron’s music collective The Electric Illuminati, one of his main characters is the star of the video.
“In November of 2011, artist, prankster and “popaganda” pioneer, Ron English, approached us with the idea of collaborating on a music video based on his character, Cathy Cowgirl. We humbly accepted the challenge.
We based the visuals on the song, “Cathy Cowgirl” by Ron’s music collective, The Electric Illuminati. Over the course of 2 crazy fun days, we filmed Ron’s miniature sets and countless characters in his workshop in Beacon NY. Characters to be animated, were digitally modeled in 3d, footage was treated and cleaned up and after a whirlwind post-production schedule of just 3 weeks, the picture was finished.”
