When the Bat Country Burning Man theme camp was first founded after Hunter S. Thompson passed away, the founders contacted Ralph Steadman to get permission to use some of his art as a camp logo.
He replied that rather than do that, he would draw a logo for the camp. It’s still used (on my car as I write this) and the first of the wild, crazy stories that seem to form around that camp.
Ralph Steadman seems to create talismans of weird, drawing all the strange and odd and broken and slightly dangerous closer together…
