Punk Skunk
Work Summary & Collector Notes
"Punk Skunk" is a signed and numbered limited edition of 25, with a 20 by 26 inch image on a 24 by 30 inch sheet. The small run and character-driven title place it within English's Delusionville-adjacent menagerie, hand-signed and numbered as a deliberately scarce 2017 paper edition.

Why It Matters
At only 25 signed examples, Punk Skunk is among English's tighter paper editions. The invented, punk-styled animal character fits his practice of populating imagined worlds with hybrid creatures, and the larger 24x30 sheet gives the composition a substantial presence relative to its very limited run.
Collector Perspective
The 25-piece edition makes this hard to find, and the sizable 24x30 sheet rewards careful framing to the full margins. Verify the pencil signature and numbering. As a 2017 paper work, protect it with archival mounting and UV glazing; corner and edge condition are key value factors on a sheet this size.
Historical Context
English builds recurring casts of invented characters across his work, and named creatures like Punk Skunk reflect that world-building impulse. Issued in 2017 as a small signed edition, it belongs to the collector-focused paper releases that ran parallel to his larger sculpture and toy output that year.
