Gonzo book design?

I dont know how, I dont know why, but somehow I have been unaware that my favorite artist redesigned one of my favorite books, resulting in the disturbingly illustrated 50th anniversary release of George Orwell's Animal Farm.


Ralph Steadman, the artist whose explosive style of illustration gave form to Gonzo journalism in the late 60's and early 70's, is commonly recognized for his work on Fear and loathing in Las Vegas written by Hunter S. Thompson.

It seems though that his work has been cropping up more and more lately. I for one miss the energy and excitement of real Gonzo journalism, however sadistic it may be.
