— Hunter S. Thompson

Ralph Steadman did all the illustrating for Rolling Stone and was Hunters boon companion. For insistence, he invented the term "Gonzo". He is probably my favorite living artist. It's not easy to navigate, but you can find him at http://www.ralphsteadman.com/
That's one of the best quotes about life I've ever read. Very cool!
Hey, can I steal that for my motto?
