Taking their points of departure in the Southern California punk-rock culture of the late 1970's and 80's and the “do-it-yourself” aesthetic of album covers, concert flyers, comics and fanzines that characterized the movement, his drawings have come to occupy their own genre of powerful and dynamic American commentary.

The art world was also much smaller at the time, so if you mailed out 200 invites, you were reaching a good core of the art world." (Rosen). Raymond Pettibon&nbsp;is a contemporary American artist known for his stylized ink drawings combining images and text. His inventive narratives blend historical content with consumer culture to yield incisive critiques of contemporary society. “I was making my work as transparent as possible, without equivocations, without calling attention to itself, without apology,” he explained. “There's a lot of conventions in the art world that are not to be transgressed, but my economy of means doesn't abide by those strictures.” Born Raymond Ginn on June 16, 1957 in Tucson, AZ, the artist is self-taught, but cites drawings by&nbsp;William Blake,&nbsp;Edward Hopper,&nbsp;Francisco Goya, and&nbsp;John Sloan&nbsp;as instructive to his practice. Deriving inspiration from comics, cartoons, and other pop culture iconography, Pettibon began designing album covers and ephemera for his brother’s band Black Flag in the mid-1970s. He went on to produce cover art for Sonic Youth, the Minutemen, and the Foo Fighters. In 2017, the artist was the subject of the major retrospective “Raymond Pettibon: A Pen of All Work,” held at the New Museum in New York, where he currently lives and works. Today, his works can be found in the collections of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.

France ocean liner in October 1971.</li><li>The letter comes with two Plaza Hotel envelopes that George has addressed to Pattie at Friar Park in Henley-On-Thames and an Apple New York envelope, postmarked 1st November that has George has also addressed to Pattie.</li><li>This work is presented unframed.</li></ul> In the letter, George describes his journey aboard The S. S. France as being not as good as the QE2 writing:‘More straights in Tuxedos and not as many things to do, I read a lot in the cabin.’ He discusses editing the ‘Concert for Bangladesh’ for television, he mentions that Bob [Dylan] would be coming to look at his part in the film and that Ravi will arrive later the same day to look at his performance in the film. George goes on to complain of a wrangle over the cover artwork for the album box set of ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’, with Harrison resolute in his preference for a haunting photo of a malnourished child on the front and jokes that the delay has brought about the near simultaneous release of Ravi Shankar’s ‘Raga’, ‘The Concert for Bangladesh’ and Paul McCartney’s ‘Wild Life’, all coming in the same month! The letter has been transcribed exactly how George has written it. All of George’s grammatical errors and incorrect usage of capital letters have been retained. It reads as follows: ‘(212) PL 9.3000 ROOM 601Monday EveningDear Pattie,Hello, Hope you are O.K. I tried to call you when I got here but there was no Greg in the Lodge – can you call me through Apple at ABKCO or the Plaza to say hello to Hubby! It’s a drag not being able to speak to you. You can call ABKCO and tell them a time, and I’ll call the Lodge.The ‘France’ was not as good as QE2 more straights in Tuxedos and not as many things to do, so I read a lot in the cabin.Started looking at the film and it should be O.K. for a T.V. show – but a lot of Juggling to do – to get what I would like. The camera men were not too hip on the Rock part – but Ravi’s part seems well covered. Ravi is gong to be at the Plaza on Wednesday – so I am going to try and get a Rough Cut together by then – so he can tell me where to edit the music – as it should be reduced for T.V, as 15 minutes should be enough for the Film. We have to get the film to about 54 minutes total, for an Hour show. Neil and I are going to work now (tonight) so as to get it started. Bob is coming in the Morning, so we will have to work on his part tomorrow day, and then Ravi’s again in the evening, and it will save us time if Ravi has something to see before he leaves town, and his Bit is too hard to edit without him (the sound track).Saw a great wash basin in a window – full size white with blue flowers but with just one Tap in the centre – havent been back when its open (the shop) but will get it, if its there, not too much, when I go back. Here are youre (sic) shoes – hope they are O.K. Don’t I write crazy!!! Very fast before Ringo goes to the Airport –What have you been doing? Hope you’re O.K I miss you – I’m starving – many grilled cheese sandwiches – Love you – Call me or tell me when I can call you at the Lodge.Do you need anything from N.Y. cos I will go shopping for a day or 2. Still haven’t been to Lill Nassau’s but I passed her window one night and there is some great stuff – Hope I can get the Bed Piece Without spending to much bread in there. Saw a good shop with Indian fabric + cushions etc. which is what I want for my room 206 Are there shops in London with that stuff, as the cushions are so big it would be daft to carry them home – but I can. What do you think? The Electric Yo-Yo’s are for Paul and Janet (after you finish playing with them.)Eddie Veal was funny in N.Y. with his arm Bands and we took him to the Aceto Bar.How’s the House? D. Tapp? Any Problems?How’s Dad? – our Lou is Coming Tomorrow so that’s going to confuse me for a while. Shit!Has Quinnell done the stairs and rails in 203/4 109 yet?The Bangla Desh Proof of the Box front with the Guitar, was awful – so I had to jump on that and change it and shout at them and Now it will be O.K. with the original Idea of the Kid – its such a pain in the arse all that messing around – just Because they didnt like the truth any it will be O.K. in the end except we now have RAGA – B/Desh and Paul all coming out in the same month – well I know which will win! (Ha-Ha)Love you – Love to Ted – Gred – and KledGeorge’
