"So Ron English blew up this Mr. Brainwash guys spot and revealed that he is actually a wealthy trustfunder and owns a bunch of buildings which street artists were allowed to use like a Disneyland of street art type playground. Here’s Ron’s words.
“The only glaring detail that they leave out that helps you understand the story is that Thierry is like a billionaire, a very wealthy guy. He doesn’t come off as wealthy. His family are some kind of merchants from France, and when he was 17 years old he met with his financial advisor and told him that he wanted to move to the United States. His financial advisor says “It’s very hard to immigrate to the United States, but it’s a lot less hard if you own a bunch of property in the United States.” So the family bought a bunch of buildings up and down Melrose and some other really prime real estate in Los Angeles.”
“The artists all tolerated him because he hooked you up, when you went to LA, the first thing people told you is “You have to meet this guy Thierry because he’s got all the main spaces, all the best walls, and you can do something without getting arrested.” ‘
When asked about his own work Ron said he “makes like $130,000 for some paintings.” One painting could bring clean water solutions to more than 6500 people. I reached out to Ron for his support and his wife answered for him saying that they were “too busy, good luck”. I haven’t given up hope on Ron yet, maybe my words only went as far as his wife so I’m not putting him in the fraud category just yet. I will see what’s up with him and keep you updated. In the meantime somebody please ask Mr. Brainwash to check in with me. If you are really that paid then you out of all people need to step up and not only give back to people suffering in poverty but also to the culture you have become a part of and are making money off of." - BNE
