Raymond Pettibon is an American artist known for his distinctive ink drawings that blend text and image, often drawing from American iconography, literature, and punk rock culture.
Raymond Pettibon is an American artist born in Tucson, Arizona, who lives and works in New York City. He came to prominence in the early 1980s within the southern California punk rock scene, creating posters and album art primarily for SST Records, owned by his brother, Greg Ginn.
Pettibon's work is characterized by ink drawings that combine text and image, exploring themes from American history, art, literature, politics, and sexuality. His signature style often features a single figure or scene with a caption, creating a narrative tension that is both accessible and enigmatic.
Recent coverage from The Cultural Signal includes a 2026 feature by the Getty Museum highlighting Malibu's surf culture, which includes photographs by artists such as Robert Weingarten and Ed Ruscha, though Pettibon himself was not directly mentioned in that specific article.
