Description

Seeking to bring harmony and balance in a turbulent time, here we offer, Hunter as the Dali Lama. This is a huge departure from Ralph’s more ink blot and line style. It captures his good friend and collaborator, Hunter S Thompson in the year 2000. From 1970 when they met at the Kentucky Derby and Hunter identified Ralph as “a matted haired geek, with string warts” they would collaborate on several projects including Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Curse of Long and the movie adaptation of Where the Buffalo Roam. Ralph’s art would accompany Hunter’s prose on many Rolling Stone articles. The new journalistic trouble in town, named “Gonzo” by Bill Cardoso, was finding its feet, its followers and and its place in history, after that first fateful collaboration in Hunter’s hometown of Louisville. This portrait, rendered in acrylic and ink, is a raw but affectionate representation of a man who Ralph considered a brother in all but name.
