Happy Kentucky Derby week! In celebration of the most exciting two minutes in sports, we've collaborated with Louisville artist Rachael Sinclair on a decadent and depraved new print. Not just any print, an infographic of kick ass Kentuckian Hunter S. Thompson's famous essay on the 1970 Kentucky Derby – 'The Kentucky Derby Is Decadent and Depraved'. Gonzo journalism's original gangster essay that appeared in Scanlan's Monthly in June of that year.
You'll notice each silk on this print is symbolic of something from Hunter S. Thompson's essay – Colonel Quick, Nekkid Horses, Whiskey Gentry, Dust Commander, Old Fitz, Chemical Billy, Inbred Horses, etc. Good stuff.
Special thanks to the talented Rachael Sinclair for crushing this print, she nailed it! Special thanks to Thoroughbred Printing for the kick ass prints. Special thanks to Landon Antonetti for the photographs and the rad video (below).
All gone. Sorry!
