New Releases by Ralph Steadman

Ralph Steadman: A Life in Ink is the definitive career retrospective of the revered and provocative UK artist. This new edition features the same content as the original at a smaller size and more economical price. This comprehensive monograph on the life and art of Ralph Steadman collects work from his dozens of books from a career of 60-plus years. Renowned for his collaborations with iconic American writer Hunter S. Thompson, they formed an unlikely duo that created "Gonzo" journalism. This lifelong partnership included the legendary Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, originally published in Rolling Stone magazine, which has since become a cult classic and synonymous with the counterculture of the 1970s. Along with his signature ink-splattered style, Steadman is known for his diverse body of work, including satirical political cartoons and book illustrations for classics such as George Orwell''s Animal Farm and his award-winning version of Alice in Wonderland. This mini edition of A Life in Ink is the perfect complement to any collection of Steadman''s books. Add it to the shelf alongside Ralph Steadman: Proud Too Be Weirrd and Gonzo: The Art by Ralph Steadman and The Curse of Lono by Hunter S. Thompson.

«Todos los animales son iguales, pero algunos animales son más iguales que otros.»Aunque Rebelión en la granja fue concebida como una sátira devastadora sobre la degeneración del régimen soviético en la época de Stalin, el carácter universal de su mensaje la convierte en una obra fundamental para comprender la corrupción engendrada por el poder absoluto. A través de una vívida narración en primera persona, la voz del Che evoca las adversidades que debió enfrentar junto a sus compañeros de armas y su bautismo de fuego en la batalla de Alegría del Pío.

The collected works of gonzovationists Ralph Steadman and Ceri Levy, brought together into one magnificent collection.

In this collection of art by cartoonist Steadman, the focus is not on the birds that are gone, but on the ones that there is still time left to save. These are the 192 critically endangered birds on the IUCN Red List, species such as the Giant Ibis, the Kakapo, the Sumatran Ground-cuckoo and the iconic Spoon-billed Sandpiper. Along with a number of classic Steadman creations such as the Unsociable Lapwing, these are the Nearly-Extinct Boids.

A very funny take on the contortions a grandparent goes through to please a grandchild. When Oliver visits Grumpy, Grumpy twists himself into a funny position to amuse his grandson. ''AGAIN!'' shouts Oliver, so Grumpy does something even more extraordinary. ''AGAIN!'' comes the refrain. And Grumpy complies. Again and again and again, until he''s twisted himself slightly too far ... With eye-watering yet hilarious detail, cartoonist Ralph Steadman captures the pain and delights of grandparenthood with merciless accuracy.

Ceri''s humorous but meaningful message accompanied by Ralph''s sensational paintings will satisfy art-lovers and conservationists alike. Following on from Extinct Boids and Nextinction, Critical Critters is the third in this epic trilogy of books dedicated to extinct and critically endangered animals from cartoonist Ralph Steadman and film-maker Ceri Levy - the GONZOVATIONISTS. Expect plenty more of what made the first two books so successful - unpredictable nonsense beasts, irreverent jokes, a diary-style record of the creative mayhem, and around 100 spectacular illustrations by Ralph of critically endangered mammals, insects, fish, lizards and trees – a stunning collection, with a serious conservation message.

A retrospective collection of Steadman''s often satirical work arranged by topical and social themes and punctuated by his own commentary. Includes his Gonzo Guernica, a trip to East Berlin, the immigration morass along the Mexican-American border, travels in Peru, and various artistic bombs flung at the high and mighty around the world.

Then ''yes'' again ... and again ... and again. An astonishing 100 paintings later, Extinct Boids was born. Ralph got carried away by the birds, taking Ceri with him. This book details the discoveries they made on their travels through the savage seas of extinction. After stumbling on the previously hidden Toadstool Island, where the extinct birds of the world live on in secretive harmony, the duo spent nearly a year in close proximity to a host of fantastical avian creatures. Ralph documents them all in this series of remarkable paintings, featuring unique interpretations of well-known birds such as the Great Auk, Passenger Pigeon and Dodo, along with less familiar members of the feathersome firmament - Snail-eating Coua, for example, or the Red-moustached Fruit Dove - and a variety of bizarre beasts including the Gob Swallow, the Long-legged Shortwing and the Needless Smut. All are captured in a riot of expression and colour, with a slice of trademark Steadman humour. Based on emails, diary entries and phone conversations, Ceri''s accompanying text provides a running commentary, detailing the unfolding madness behind the creation of each piece in Ralph''s extraordinary work. Things got tough as the pair discovered just how many amazing birds have been lost from our world forever.
