fear and loathing in steadmanvision.

at the moment i'm looking at gonzo journalism for critical studies, and i've been meaning to upload some of this fellow's stuff for a while so it only seems fitting to do it now.

ralph steadman is a british illustrator who is most known for the work he did with the good dr. hunter s. thompson. his artwork is (for me) the illustrative equivalent of hunter's writings, and himself as eccentric as thompson too - there was an apparent noted change in steadman's personality and work after befriending the dr. and engaging in his more influencing pastimes.










check his website out or head over to the britishcartoonarchive where they have over 100 of his scanned images up.
