Ralph Steadman is a British artist, illustrator and satirical cartoonist, best known for his collaborations with American author and Gonzo Journalist, Hunter S. Thompson. Born in Wallasey, Cheshire, Steadman attended the East Ham Technical College in the 1960s, which is where he met and befriended fellow cartoonist, Gerald Scarfe. Though the two would remain close friends for some time and influenced each other heavily, they had a falling out as friends in the mid 1960s. Throughout this decade, Steadman freelanced for various publications including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, Punch, Private Eye and more. In September of 1970, the short-lived magazine Scanlan’s Monthly teamed Steadman up with Hunter S. Thompson to write about the Kentucky Derby, which culminated to form a long-lasting partnership. A year later, Steadman illustrated Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Steadman is known for his eclectic and visceral stylings, influenced by feelings of anger and as a way of exposing hypocrisy and the horror of life in an explicit and satirical manner. Though others attribute his work to be influenced by drug use, Steadman said that he had only used Psilocybin once with Thompson and was “traumatized by the experience”. Steadman has also worked with numerous musicians and groups, including The Who, Frank Zappa and Exodus, among others and is still working to this day.

I AM THE DEVIL - RUN
if you find yourself interested in me, or you find me interested in you, run
run while you can, I am poison, I am a drug, a cancer, the more involved you become the more I will control you and feed on your hate and make you a lesser version of myself,
picture being lost in a room, but you see the door and refuse to open it instead , you pretend the door is not there and dig several holes in the room to reach the door in the end,
confusion & complication have become my forte to inflict upon others, & I hate it, I hate myself, I wish I was dead, I’ve tried to die, I want it, so bad, I want it more than I want to be alive, I want it more than I want to succeed, but I want you, I want you more, can you fall with me.
