VIDEO: Legendary Artist Ralph Steadman Promo for Goldmark

I recently had the pleasure of spending a few days filming with legendary artist Ralph Steadman and filmmaker and writer Ceri Levy to promote sets of 25 signed prints from the third part of the Gonzo trilogy of books, Critical Critters. Following on from Extinct Boids and Nextinction, Critical Critters is the third in this epic trilogy of books dedicated to extinct and critically endangered animals from cartoonist Ralph Steadman and film-maker Ceri Levy - the GONZOVATIONISTS.

While I filmed Ralph sign the prints for Goldmark, he was kind enough to produce a signed illustration just for me right there on the spot as seen in the Final Cut Pro screenshot below.

I was also lucky enough to film 'An Evening with Ralph Steadman and Ceri Levy' at Goldmark where they shared hilirious stories about the making of the book and artwork in front of a captivated audience which included a few famous faces such as BBC Radio 6 Music DJ Marc Riley

See if you can spot him in the promo video I shot and edited for Goldmark below...
