Raymond Pettibon

Raymond Pettibon (born 1957) is an artist, most famous for his relation to brother Greg Ginn of Black Flag fame. He is known for his bizarre comic-like drawings with disturbing or ironic captions. His artwork was prominent in the 1980s Los Angeles punk scene, appearing on flyers and records (most famously those of Black Flag and Sonic Youth). He released numerous books through Ginn's SST Records, though most are now out of print. Since then, he has gained acclaim on the international art scene, with his first major exposition in 1995.
