Fanart Friday: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Up this week for Fanart Friday is the cult classic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by the unique voice that is Hunter S. Thompson. This book is one of my favourites, not only because it's the book that introduced me to HST, but because it is far and away one of the most intelligent, unique, truthful and balls to the wall crazy books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. It's hard for me to imagine the actions of the book played out differently to the iconic film adaptation starring Benico Del Toro and Johnny Depp, but these fine artists managed to strip those visualisations away and simply capture the raw edge and beauty that abounds in this work. As always, I highly encourage you to click through the links to see the pictures full size, as well as the other pieces by the artists.

Along with these individual art pieces, I'd also like to present this fantastic series of images by Peter Waechter titled 'On the Edge of the Desert'. They are phenomenal and you should hurry over to Peter's facebook page because these are only the tip of a very talented iceberg.
