  The Renaissance Society at the University of Chicago: Raymond Pettibon,
Pettibon combines hand drawn images and text taken from a variety of indiscriminate sources and his reverence for the word and image is directly proportional to his irreverence for their context.
Pettibon's early graphic work, all done for the purposes of reproduction, was not striving for “bad”, it had the look of something demanding to be reprimanded by a prudish parent.
Pettibon's decision, at the outset of his career, to adopt an aesthetic belonging to a disgruntled teenager of the seventies, and later to adopt a more general aesthetic of cold war deviancy marked by mushroom clouds, juvenile delinquents, organized crime, J. Edgar Hoover, Joan Crawford and film noir, clearly reflects this shift in ideals.

pettibon wields his camera like a truncheon carved of fine midwestern oak, passionlessly culling hardened terrorists from the innocent fellow travellers swept up in youth culture enthusiasms through no fault of their own.
pettibon and co-director dave markey ("love dolls superstar," "1991: the year that punk broke," "reality 86'd") present the sla/patty hearst drama of the early seventies as the final detonation of sixties counterculture premise.

Raymond Pettibon was born in Tucson, Arizona in 1957.

 Raymond Pettibon Retrospective at Kunsthalle Wien | Art Knowledge News
Pettibon, who was originally influenced by the comic style of, for example, Milton Caniff and John Kirby, first became well-known outside of the art scene for creating flyers, concert posters, and album covers for the independent record label SST, owned by his brother Greg Ginn.
Pettibon found his inspiration equally in the 1930’s and 1940’s design of the U.S. and the flower-power dreams of the hippies, which he gleefully transformed into bloody massacre scenes.
Raymond Pettibon, whose work also includes several feature films and animation works (a selection will be shown in the exhibition), is perhaps the most precise artistic observer of American popular culture milieus.

Perhaps the only major difference between the Raymond Pettibon opening at Chicago's Renaissance Society last September and the first public display of his art almost 20 years ago in Los Angeles is that the curators in Chicago didn't steal his work off the walls.
Pettibon first gained recognition in the late '70s and early '80s through the punk rock scene.
Pettibon was and still is a fan of the music—his connection to the scene was through his brother, Black Flag guitarist and SST head Greg Ginn.

 Review: Raymond Pettibon, Whitechapel Gallery | Arts critics | Guardian Unlimited Arts
Maybe their ghosts are among Pettibon's nerdy innocents, rubbery shape-shifters and beefcake musclemen, the 1950s sirens, the longhairs and queer cops, the slashing ink brush and fluid penmanship.
Pettibon isn't like Lawrence Weiner, turning words into conceptual sculptures, nor does he tend towards the terse one- or two-liners of Ruscha, Bruce Nauman or Christopher Wool, or the retold gags of Richard Prince.
Pettibon, as far as I can tell, is a conundrum, a loner, sitting out the main events of contemporary art among his teetering piles of drawings.

If Hermosa Beach artist Raymond Pettibon cared a bit what the general masses in the South Bay knew of him, it might be considered sad that so few are aware that he is perhaps their greatest artist.
Pettibon first emerged in the 1970s and 1980s as sort of the "house artist" for the South Bay's thriving punk rock scene.
But as time went on, Pettibon transcended his roots and established himself as an important artist working in the medium of pen and ink.

 +++ neumu [ the drama you've been craving ]
Pettibon's cynical, hard-boiled fl-and-white drawings provided visuals for the raw, fast soundtrack of early-'80s punk — particularly the sound that roared from the abandoned warehouses and deadly suburbs of the real "ghost world," L.A. Pettibon, like Clowes, got his start in the least likely of forums.
Pettibon was born in 1957, Clowes in 1961, and Pettibon's work certainly influenced Clowes.
By the early '80s, at least one of those artists, Pettibon, was also seeing his work featured on the covers of albums and singles by the band led by his half-brother, Greg Ginn: Black Flag.

 village voice > books > Raymond Pettibon: The Books 1978-1998 by Dodie Bellamy
Emerging 20 years ago from the L.A. punk music scene, Pettibon has sketched thousands of image-text drawings, many of which were first presented in a series of self-published zines, folded and center-stapled 8 1/2-by-11 sheets, and issued in minute print runs.
The irony of course is that anyone who's talked to the eccentric Pettibon for even a minute knows he's not a typical American anything, though the iconography of America filters through his work like sunlight through the stained-glass windows of Chartres.
Indeed, as 1998's Raymond Pettibon Reader, which contained excerpts from his favorite writers, revealed, Pettibon is as deeply immersed in European literature as were Henry Adams and Henry James before him—so the longing for a more authentic culture works both ways.
