We’re having a sense of deja vu as we cope with Breaking Bad withdrawal. It’s been a week since legendary gonzo artist Ralph Steadman was dancing in our gallery, 71a London, and Saul Goodman himself, actor Bob Odenkirk, dropped by for a drink and to check out art by Ralph and a group of Little White Lies readers.
Mashable called the exhibition “99.1% chemically awesome”, Time Out London ranked it one of their top things to do and The Evening Standard called it their hottest ticket in town.
If you missed the chance to check out the exhibition, Ralph Steadman personally selected his favourite entries to the Breaking Bad Creative Brief competition run by Little White Lies to hang alongside his own spectacular portraits – which feature on the limited edition Breaking Bad steelbook. Here’s our pick of the best entries, including some overlooked by Steadman.
