My Day With Ralph Steadman

[vici0uslyr0tten]

aww Ralph seems so sweet! 

[hollowayjaeger]

Ralph is one of my all-time heroes. I've interviewed him many times and he is as nice as he is talented. He gave me a print of Alice in Wonderland in a rowing boat and inscribed it with "For Carol, something to reflect upon."

I haven't seen him for a few years, but it's an honour to have known him.

[Lingeringturd13]

Which book is that? And is there any books of just his artwork?

[WalksBehindTheRose]

he seems like a really nice guy

[shitIMGOINGPOSTAL]

does he use india ink?

[WalksBehindTheRose]

@shitIMGOINGPOSTAL yes

[ForthPetalSanity]

LMAO!

Someone: "All the nice people are artists"

Ralph: "OOh, Really?"

Hahahaha... sorry but, who every says that isn't quiet in the reality of it. One doesn't have to be nice to be an artist, but a successful one~ partly yes, the other half is sometimes con-artist ;)

Ralph has great style indeed ^ ^

Cool video, must have been a fun day.

Glade ya posted this.

I agree that Ralph is one of the nicest, kindest, and most generous people I've had the pleasure to meet. I love to see how passionate and loyal his fans are. I am very fortunate to have many items signed by Ralph, including 2 First Edition, First Printing, Hardcover copies of "FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS" (1971). Because I have 2 copies, I would be willing to sell one. If any of you would like to purchase one, email me at: j.fine@cox.net. Rock on, Ralph!

Thirty years ago we found his address and wrote to him asking for a drawing. We were in college at the U of M in Montana. He actually wrote us back and sent us a drawing. By far the nicest artist I know.

[solargesture]

[raggamuffin06]

Ralph grew up near me here, in north Wales - so it's nice to hear his speaking voice.

[hoosierfan04]

i have only recently become a fan of ralph after reading fear and loathing in lv but he seems like a nice and interesting man...hope you had a good day meeting him it looks like it was a good time wish the good dr. was still alive i would have loved to meet him

[reeblite]

My, what an honor, my love affair with him started as a young teenager when his cartoons

caught my eye, and then my molded my heart and soul into democratic thinking. Love the man. Thanks for posting a wonderful day you had. He's softspokenness made it difficult for me to understand some of the things he was saying.

[VinKohl]

That was a very cool video, thanks for posting. What an honor that would be to have Mr. Steadman draw a caricature of you!

[compeauvideo]

Nice one. Having exchanged a few emails with the wine lover (and lover of the earth) genuine pure and genuine spirit that is Ralph, I am sure you had a great time.

"OK"

[chickenfeedbabe]

I ADORE his art. Ok, just wondering. Does anybody know of the name of this certain piece of art of his? It's a drawing of a woman in a fur coat and.. it's obviously a hit on the killing of seals.. you know. Anybody know the one?

[hollakarate]

oh shit indeed

[zanderkaufman]

I love Ralph!

[cinderellafrox]

Just watched your wonderful video and thought it was a really great tribute to one of the best and finest of men! I am his youngest daughter and think it is amazing that he has fans like you!

[roverspaul]

Please could you tell me how I could go about buying an original copy of the "HST Rising High" picture? Also will there be any book of these great book signings in England? Thankyou for your time.

[thelizardlounge]

You lucky bastard! That's one hell of a day, good on ya. Ralph seems very kind indeed. Stay Gonzo!
