Back in September we did a small piece on Bret Miller and his upcoming art work involving Hunter S. Thompson. He got in touch last night and sent me a picture of the finished article, that’s it below. You can find more of his great work here http://www.bretmillersart.com He will be exibiting his work next weekend in Cedar Rapids Iowa for the Harvester Art Show. For more information visit his site.
Here is a brief outline on how he put this piece together..(In his own words)
“I often enjoy creating portraits of people who think outside of the box. Needless to say it was only a matter of time until I completed a piece of Hunter S. Thompson. This 12″ X 29″ piece is a stencil of Hunter over a collage of letters between Hunter and his long time friend and illustrator Ralph Steadman as well as a bunch of photos of Hunter. Materials for the collage were gathered from Ralph Steadman’s book “The Jokes Over”. Materials include stretched canvas, Liquitex Sealer, Modge Podge, Plutonium G Aerosol, and Make It Stone by Krylon for the edges.”
Many thanks to Bret for letting us show his HST piece here.
