This work was created for a group show based and inspired by the work and life of Hunter S. Thompson.my favourite quote from him was his asking Ben Fong Torres then editor of Rolling Stone for a Cadillac for his personal use during his expose for what would become Fear & Loathing. ‘You can’t send a man out in a fucking Pinto or VW to chase the American dream in Las Vegas. 

At the time I was stressed and had three deadlines and on the brink of relapse myself, as I was trying to stay dry,,,
If a writer writes and a good writer drinks.. well then you can imagine what a good artists demons beckon and ling for when under extreme pressure to create. 

As I have always gravitated towards writes of Thompson,, Bukowski, and my fonourite William S Burroughs. I have been fascinated with the man trying to exercise his demons. A life lived is a life full of colour and stories. 
The horse was taken from Napoleon classic portrait of Napoleon Crossing the Alps and the catholic sainting of using a halo of pills. The ink splatter are a homage to the great Ralph Steadman whom illustrated a lot of Thompson’s work.

Visual Artist, Hot Head, Lovabale Grouch, and Dog Lover. Multi-Disciplinary Art in Subject Matter: Sin & Salvation, Redemption& Damnation, Polarities, Saints and Sinners, Hero Worship ​ Biography: In the year of 1723 on a full moon by the waters of Gitchygoomee, an entity was summoned atop the hill tops causing a seismic shift on planet earth. This force of nature would become known to many as Henry Hate.  A protege to famed Circus Impresario  P.T. Barnum and Aleister Crowley. In his formative years he would make "art films" for the likes of Andy Warhol, whom he was heavily influenced by and cinema auteur Kenneth Anger. Classic titles as The Crisco Disco Fiasco, and Gladys The Groovy Mule Gets Down wowed barely their audiences. Leaving over money disputes and a unpaid gambling debt that caused an internal affairs investigation into the CIA.  Mr Hate hit the high road with a gaggle of excommunicated Mormon sex freaks, a school bus, and Ayahuasca Shaman. The journey to find himself and his respect lasted all but two weeks that rocked the Catholic Church and a local Piggly Wiggly in deep rooted scandal.  Once again raising the bar on  shameless self promotion. Le Haine as he is known in Gay Paris, invented a dance that rocked both Soul Train and American Bandstand youth. The result was a well known chain of  ice cream stores to name a desert after him.  Broke with no money he found himself vacationing at the famed resort The Spawn Ranch trading sexual favors  for room and board. It was a eventful summer night when he refused to "go for a ride", that resulted in the Tate/LaBiance murders.  He now makes art for all in all forms of medias and disciplines. ​ Henry Hate is a American visual artist & tattoo artist who's work is both seen on the street and and walls world wide. He escaped family life and joined the army, but never took to authority.  He was to enroll at Savannah Collage of Art & Design to study Illustration, when he found himself working in a brothel to help pay the bills. Early on in his career he found himself working for Durk Dehner of The Tom Of Finland Foundation while broke in Hollywood. Henry took an a tattoo apprenticeship at Funny Farm Tattoo in Silver Lake Los Angeles, while also working in the adult film industry y.
