Rune and Arto take WSR 07
Gonzo Built
Ralph Steadman is probably the greatest illustrator of our time. He has moved a lots of books I would imagine. I know I own at least 5 of them. He did a cool portrait of Kurt Vonnegut recently... A new book followed the death of Hunter S. Thompson.
When you encounter someone as prolific as Ralph, you scratch your head, pondering that he:
- Is an insomniac
- Got his half of his art from his dad and grandfather
- Is a raging torrent of creative alternatives who can produce at mach 10
He may even be a better writer than he is an illustrator, which seems impossible. As an artist, he has seen his own scrawling style pillaged by scores of others. I have had to look hard sometimes to finally realize it was not Ralph that drew something I was looking at.
One day he thought he would entertain the idea of putting his art on a skateboard. I wonder if he was drinking wine that day. Fancy Goods? I need some of those cufflinks at the park Ralph.
Kevin Wilkins hung up and knocked himself out and broke his hand last month
Kevin is the Editor and lives in Lincoln, Nebraska. He comes out to the main uncorporate headquarters in Solana Beach every few months to set things straight. On his first day back in town, he took off with Swifto to shred the Encinitas YMCA and promptly hung up a backside air in the kidney. He doesn't rememeber what took place after that, except for a weird dream with Munchkins and flying creepy monkeys(I hated those, I couldn't sleep after seeing those things abducting
Lance calmly and quietly whispered in my ear...
"Grant, get ready and take a photo, I'm gonna drop in with my board on fire."
He did. Tahoe 1984.
The Jeffersons always have the best shirts
Ako and Atiba don't even live together anymore, but it always seems like they coordinate their getups. I wonder if Atiba owns a Blue Note tee?
