Artist's Comments

Hunter S. Thompson is a Colorado hero. When I was in college the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas came out and I was also imitating Ralph Steadman's art at the same time. I painted this portrait while he was still alive but soon after he ended his life. I was able to meet Ralph Steadman at a California book signing but I never got the chance to meet Thompson despite living in Colorado soon after college.

Damn, I've read fear and loathing so many times. Such an awesome book, and such an awesome writer!

Brilliant portait by the way!
