About

Based on a photographic technique Steadman developed while on holiday in Turkey when the emulsion between the sheets of plastic of the polaroid photograph melted on him in the hot sun. He realised that the emulsion could be effectively and graphically manipulated with a blunt (it had to be blunt) pencil. Paranoids is a series of Polaroid caricatures of the rich and not so rich and famous, laced with the savagery and wit that are Steadman's trademarks. Polaroid changed their chemical process not long after the publication of Paranoids to prevent the reproduction of the Paranoid process.
