image essay #1

Ralph Steadman's "Midget Bad Craziness" is extremely dynamic . it is this because the characters in the print are all facing off of the page to the right. this gives the print a sense of motion, although the characters have enough detail and excitment to keep your eye moving through the picture. the way the characters are illustrated is a huge risk, that in my opinion worked out for the best.

the artist's objective was to illustrate a sense of "craziness." with his splattered ink and his unusual characters Ralph did an amazing job creating a sense of creativity. his use of negative and positive space sinks your eye into the paper. the detail also keeps you looking at the piece of art.

Ralph Steadman works with the writer Hunter S. Thompson in gonzo journalism. all of the calligraphy in the movies Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Where the Buffalo Roam was done by Ralph. for the record i think these entrees should be 100 words... not 200, just for the record, but of coarse I’m not the teacher so it's not my decision. I still think this is under 200 words... and still, but wait… not anymore.
