Overview

A three-decade retrospective of Ralph Steadman’s caustic, witty, outrageous art, including illustrations from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the other legendary collaborations with Hunter S. Thompson that spawned "gonzo journalism." Illustrated throughout in color and black-and-white, with an introduction by Hunter S. Thompson.

Synopsis

Perhaps no contemporary artist's work is more widely recognizable than the edgy, angsty visions of Ralph Steadman. Acclaimed for his memorable collaborations with journalist Hunter S. Thompson (of which Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is perhaps best known), Steadman's art has influenced a generation of writers, designers, artists, and filmmakers. We're celebrating the publication of Steadman's lavish new career overview, Gonzo: The Art, by giving away nine page proofs from the book, each signed by Ralph Steadman himself!
