A Ralph Steadman Sketch

As we have seen, Ralph Steadman has developed a shorthand sketch of a face to meet some of the demands of book signings and other public appearances. Here a small drawing in two colors is inscribed "For Arthur" and dates form 1999.

Note:  If you've been following this blog, you know that "A Retrospective:  Ralph Steadman" is showing in New York City at the Society of Illustrators. It's a traveling exhibit so it's unlikely to be extended beyond October 22. Catch it while you can.

Got an original sketch by Ralph Steadman or perhaps by one of the other talented artists I mention all the time on this blog? Send me a scan and maybe I'll put it up on the blog. You never know...
