LACROSSE Ballet Due to the overwhelming response to my drawing of people playing lacrosse featured in the New Yorker magazine several weeks ago, I have decided to create a print edition of the "LACROSSE Ballet". The print will be in a signed and numbered edition of 20. The paper size will be approximately 23 x 32 inches, the size of the original. I am pleased I managed to capture the Spirit of the game.

Mr. Steadman is happy to present a collection of screenprints from his latest book, The Joke's Over, a memoir of his friendship and collaboration with famed Gonzo Journalist Hunter S. Thompson. The prints cover the span of their association, from their first meeting in Kentucky to the 2005 memorial service at which Thompson's ashes were blasted out of a cannon. The prints include work from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Curse of Lono and The Kentucky Derby is Decadent and Depraved, among many others. |

| "Nixon"
The Nixon Octopus was done at the height of the Watergate Scandal and this particular image was made on a Farmhouse Kitchen Table covered in a Plaid Oilcloth in Les Salces, a tiny village in the Languedoc region above Montpelier in the South of France, where we spent many idyllic summers throughout the seventies. Maestro Printer Joe Petro wanted to print a crisp clear edition of it, just an edition of 30, five artists proofs and five Printers proofs. It is a kind of Memory Lane Print. They were Halcyon days back then, and our politicians were all sweet guys who loved walking over their Grandmothers to get anywhere. You could smoke on Aeroplanes and make cheap jokes about knives and bombs as you went through Security to catch any flight about to leave in 5 minutes. We miss it all, and above all, we miss Richard Millhaus Nixon......so this print is a Memorial Print. |

Mr. Steadman on "Artist on Holiday" — My hair was an absolute bitch that day as I prepared to travel. So a hat was a must. I spent ages in front of the mirror, adjusting it, adding color, tilting it this way and that until it was just right. Then I remembered the frock. I had to start all over again. The frock was a bit of a struggle even if I say so myself, but it hid a multitude of sins- I simply can't tell you. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I swept away on an idyllic frolic in Crete with an absolute waster- he said he was a Hollywood Follicolist, who specialized in hair transplants to ageing Megastars. He did mine, for God's sake! But never mind that- and never again!!! Hand fingered in watercolor and crayons by the artist to achieve a close facsimile to the original but each one is unique. Joe Petro has managed to capture the fine work of the original ink drawing. It is from a series the artist calls 'knee jobs', which are drawings mainly created on a light drawing board resting on his knees. |

THE LEONARDO SUITE - ETIUS ODRANOEL EHTIt's Special -a new set of prints actually finished, because they take time and hard labour: Here is a set of prints I have fought long and hard for. The unfinished plates stared at me in the studio for so long, and mocked me, until finally I contacted Master Printmakers, Michael WAIGHT, Ailsa McWILLIAM, and This is a series of 6 (six) etchings burned out of steel plates with Nitric Acid-the only acid I use nowadays. Each print is based on an element of life studied by Leonardo da Vinci, as mentioned in my book, I, LEONARDO. The six images will be titled EYES ARE THE WINDOWS OF THE SOUL, FORTIFICATIONS, RENAISSANCE HEALTH CLUBS, WELL ETCHED BACKS, HOT GASEOUS VAPORS of the HUMAN BODY, and THE THEORY of RANDOM ORBITS. Each etching will be hand printed at Aberdeen Peacock Printmakers in the Highlands of Scotland, on Heavy100% Cotton German Etch Paper, 20x 30 Each print will be signed and numbered in pencil, by me, Ralph STEADman, in an edition of only 20, plus 5 Artist's Proofs, for my own personal use and archive. The individual etchings are signed and numbered 1/20 thru 20/20 and offered at a price of $500 each. Shipping and Insurance will be pre-determined later. At last, after five years, these etchings are coming to life.

INTIMATE ART SERIES A set of Silk Screen Print on Somerset Satin White sheets of English Mould Made. Weight: 300gms(140lbs). Edition: 39. Artists Proofs: 7. Printers proofs. 2. Size: 14.5"x 12.75".
Rembrandt did them. Georg GROSZ did them. Picasso did them tirelessly. Even Andrew Wyeth did them. At the root of all Fine Art is sex — fine and uninterrupted. This set is the result of the artist's furtive voyeurism proving indelibly that he too is human. If you are a stud you are advised to buy the set for $4000. If you wish to buy a single image, that is your choice and the price will be $400 per print. Aesthetics were the artist's prime driving force. Innocence and sweetness are Paramount. Titles are on the prints. All the above were printed in Aberdeen at Peacock Printmakers. |

Godhead Tulum Silk Screen Print on Somerset Satin White English Mould Made Paper. Weight: 300gms(140lbs). Edition: 30. Artists Proof:3. Printers Proofs:1 Size: 40"x31" A memory of the Yukatan when leaders were Gods in their own right and Mayan culture was woven around them. Pyramids were built in their honor and ball games were played using the heads of their vanquished foes. League Tables were unheard of and rape and pillage were politically correct interval pastimes. Price: $1500 |
Revolutionary Silk Screen Print on Somerset Satin White English Mould Made Paper. Weight: 300gms (140lbs). Edition: 30. Artists Proofs:3. Printers Proofs: 1. Size: 40"x 31".
A stirring, emotive print inspired by a time when people believed
that such anti-social activities were going to make things better
for everyone,
when instead all that ensued was a shitload of grief for most and an
old regime replaced by a shining new gang of megalomaniacs with their
own agenda to indulge. In other words, 'Business as Usual'. Nevertheless, Price: This one's going to cost you $2000 for the power it is going to give you (or buy it for your mistress). |
The Little Tin Bull Ring A set of panels-Silk Screen Prints on Somerset Satin White Mould Made Paper. Weight: 300lbs (140lbs). Edition: 15. Artists Proofs: 1. Printers Proofs. 1. Size: 22.5"x 48" Following a visit to Figueras in Northern Spain and Cadiz in Southern Spain Steadman produced a sequence of events that occur in a Bullfight. Conscious of the religious significance associated with the practice, Steadman decided to emphasize the elegance that masks the brutality and the terrible suffering that a Bull is forced to endure before its inevitable death. Since no one picture is complete without the other eight the sets will not be split up. Your own private Gallery would probably be needed to display them most magnificently. Price by negotiation. The Bullfight panels were printed by Shelley Rose in London. That should be enough for one hit though I also include a picture showing six of the Bullfight sequence exhibited on the balcony area of Aberdeen Art Gallery to give some idea of their size.

William Burroughs Shot Print Titled: 'And something new has been added' Edition: 120
Each print was shot and signed in pencil by Mr. Burroughs at his home in Lawrence, Kansas in 12 blocks of 10 sheets at a time of Mouldmade Fine Paper from a distance of 6 feet in his socks and wearing khaki battle fatigues. The year was 1995. Don't blame me for the strange limitation numbering which goes- A1 thru A10, B1 thru B10, C1 thru C10 etc until L1 thru L10.
Each print is wildly different in effective firearm damage depending on the weapon used by this great and unpredictable writer.
Size: 30.25 inches X 44.25 inches
This six-color silk-screened print is signed in pencil by both the artist and William S. Burroughs with the added touch of bullet holes placed with loving care by Mr. Burroughs. Please e-mail for price and availability |
