Ronaldinho Smallwood
Ronaldinho Smallwood Jr. (born William James Smallwood, 10 January 1974, Lucerne, Switzerland) is an English artist, graphic designer and musician. Smallwood has worked in a variety of media since breaking through on the underground scene in 2004 with Infatuation Mechanism, a series of stills depicting the 'growth' of cold cups of coffee over a number of years. Smallwood's piece 'Ceylon Defusion' is rumoured to have been purchased by the artist himself in a private auction and then destroyed, in an effort to retain control of his artistic integrity. His latest piece is a defaced photograph of reporter John Simpson (Journalist) in a burqa.

Fame
Smallwood is rumoured to have rejected the approaches of some of the biggest names in music, favouring instead to work with breakthrough artists like Ivor Fox Frenzied Attack and Badger Insecticide.

Controversy
In Summer 2009, Smallwood attracted controversy when he was arrested in Munich, having been approached for an autograph by a fan. Smallwood responded by pouring hot coffee over the fan, explaining to police that the fan could not possibly understand his work without first experiencing humiliation. The fan later dropped all charges.
