	Ralph Steadman
		While Steadman may be best known for his dog-mess cartoons, the studio at the back of his Georgian mansion, set in the green rolling hills of tranquil leafy Kent, is packed with a myriad of fully-developed styles in a most diverse (and perverse) range of media, from paper to Polaroid, video and agricultural machinery.
		Steadman thought he was doing realistic likenesses, but most other people would agree that his work was dangerously surreal - particularly sketches of armed and dangerous owners sharing penis size and shape with their horses, which, seeking approval, he then showed the subjects.
		Steadman bought his Polaroid for £100 in Harrods in 1972 and took it to Zaire with Hunter S Thompson to cover the 1973 Rumble in the Jungle Muhammed Ali versus George Foreman fight, using it as a reference tool for when he returned to the studio.

	BBC News \| ENTERTAINMENT \| Steadman goes dotty
		Steadman's minimalist character, "dot", assumes all kinds of shapes depending on the random blot from which it is improvised.
		Amongst Steadman's best work are his illustrations for journalist Hunter S Thompson's work, especially 1972's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which was famously fuelled by the writer's death-defying cocktail of drugs and alcohol.
		Steadman admits he was "partially drunk" when he produced some of the drawings, but says he quickly found that drugs didn't work for him.

	Reading Under the Covers: An Evening with Ralph Steadman
		Steadman was proof positive that you don't have to read from your book, or even mention it much--or even speak coherently all the time--as long as you put on a good show.
		About an hour into Steadman's rambling, illustrated monologue, a youthful local journalist who covered Thompson for the last five years of his life interrupted and got onstage to ask questions of his own, as well as some that were written on cards by the audience.
		In response to a query, Steadman said that he considers his main influences to be George Grosz, Otto Dix and Francisco de Goya--not at all surprising, when you look at their work.

	Giornale Nuovo: The Grapes of Ralph
		One of the things I liked about Oddbins were their cool catalogues, which in those days were adorned with illustrations by Ralph Steadman, best-known, of course, as an occasional accomplice to the late Hunter S. Thompson.
		HST cast a large shadow over Steadman (not necessarily to the bad of course) and I suspect he might have had a different trajectory in the art world with less 'infamy of association'.
		Ralph Steadman has been a passionate & potent illustrator for some 40 years, thus (for we Brits, anyway) predating the Thompson association by a good few years.

		Commissioned by the British wine retailer Oddbins to illustrate a catalog, Steadman traveled with the firm's buyers all over the winemaking regions of the world, keeping diaries both drawn and written.

	The grotesque and the gold - Salon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Ralph Steadman feels both working with gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, and occasionally on his own.
		We know Steadman for his splattered inkings, which punctuate the off-the-wall antics in books of Thompson's such as "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "The Curse of Lono," as well as the writer's occasional Rolling Stone articles.
		His latest exhibit is entitled "Making a Mark," a reference to his recent tactic of beginning each piece without an initial subject in mind -- only marks, such as his trademark ink drippings, from which he subsequently seeks to derive meaning.

	Book Review: The Joke's Over by Ralph Steadman @ Blogcritics.org
		Ralph Steadman met Hunter S. Thompson at the 1970 Kentucky Derby and for the next 35 or so years his artwork helped drive the success of some of Thompson's most important works.
		While Steadman's name may not ring a bell with the average American, his work is immediately recognizable to Thompson fans, and it's safe to say that neither of their careers would have been the same without the other.
		Steadman sees in Thompson a man who was continually hurt by the injustices of the world and created a strike-first persona as a defense mechanism.

		Ralph Steadman's most notorious success as an illustrator was his collaboration with Hunter S. Thompson on his Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
		Steadman's unhinged drawings which combine painterly skill and cartoonlike humor are here in abundance: the varied grapes of Germany are described well but drawn better -- the sad bunches of spatlese ("late picking"), the truly glum Trockenbeerenauslese.
		He begins with the sublime, France, and ends with, well, America: the hazards of winemaking at Biosphere 2, the use of windmills as temperature controls, and the perils of gopher damage.

		Although the text may offend those with no sense of irony (Thompson compares Steadman to artist manqué Adolf Hitler; Steadman relates the story of his first bowel movement), the hyperactive visuals are sure to delight even those who've never snorted ether while tripping on pure human adrenochrome.

		Steadman chats with the owners, eyes their dogs, tastes their wines and takes notes, which frequently meander into fond digressions on unusual oenophilic practices.
		Steadman's utterly distinctive drawings are the stars of his eccentric book about the world of wine, which his curmudgeonly prose just complements.
		He is interested in the offbeat and overlooked: wine made by old hippies who ignore wasps flying about the outdoor vats, or by reckless Chileans who hang the vines off cliffs, or even by himself, as he dabbles in grape growing in England (no wonder he's cranky about chardonnay).

	Interview with Ralph Steadman, creator of Untrodden Grapes — Harcourt
		CREATOR OF Ralph Steadman has illustrated countless books, including Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and the 50th anniversary edition of George Orwell's Animal Farm.
		On a search for the unique and original, he meets Aurelio Montes, the Chilean winemaker who planted syrah vines on a rocky, south-facing hill in order to "steal the wild complexity of the mountain's soul." In Spain, he learns of the white chalky soil called albariza that produces the sherry of the Jerez region.
		As the journey continues on through Burgundy, Champagne, and Sicily, Steadman brings the landscape and its people to life with pictures and prose.
