No Title (Eh What Do?)

Raymond Pettibon

location: Hermosa Beach, California
year born: 1957
gender: male
nationality: American
home town: Tucson, Arizona

The five drawings included in the 101 Collection are representative of Pettibon’s characteristic cartoonish style. The images in them allude to his ever-recurring topics, such as the superhero (present both in Untitled Superman and No title without the comics ), a book cover (his literary sources), or a mushroom cloud. However, it is worth noting that this formal quality of his work is not exhausted in the simple illustration. His complex drawings are much more narrative than comics or cartoon, since he is inspired by the writings of such literary luminaries as William Faulkner, Daniel Defoe, Gustave Falubert, Marcel Proust, and James Joyce, Raymond Pettibon’s sophisticated, witty drawings combine image and text to explore the gamut of American popular culture.


Before becoming famous in the art world, Raymond Pettibon’s punk-rock drawings were well-known in alternative scenes. His iconic album covers for bands such as Black Flag, Minuteman, and Sonic Youth have influenced younger artists who capture the intricacies of marginal youth and popular culture with a casual style. However, Pettibon’s graphic, comic-inspired black ink drawings of violent and antiauthoritarian subject matter remain unique.
