HUNTER S. THOMPSON Behind his essential accessories, the yellow tinted Aviator sunglasses and a cigarette in a holder, Hunter’s strength of character erupts from the canvas, for here we find a profile hewn from rock, imbued with the stern gaze of a confident and challenging intellect. Standing six foot three and full of muscle, with his larger-than-life personality, Hunter surely delivered on his nickname of The Colonel. The “dark laughter” quote captures his often-enigmatic writing and is emblematic of his importance as a writer whose effect on journalism was nothing short of transcendent. Johnny first met Hunter in 1994 and the two immediately hit it off and developed a relationship based on trust, admiration for each other’s work and a shared liking for madcap antics. They would regularly meet at Hunter’s farm to chew the fat, shoot his guns and talk about literature, life and the universe.
