Raymond Pettibon

Raymond Pettibon is an American artist who lives and works in Venice Beach.

Pettibon is known for his comic-like drawings with disturbing, ambiguous and/or ironic text that usually appear on his drawings.
Pettibon originally used indian ink, and his work was pretty much always black and white, but he then latter used watercolours, pencil, collage and other mediums meaning that more colour was added to his works.
Pettibon has also created animations with his works as well as just drawings, for example the music video for the Red Hot Chili Peppers song 'Monarchy of Roses' uses animated Pettibon styled images throughout the song along with the typical text that comes along with his work.

I feel that Pettibons work is very grim and confusing at times which leaves me feeling quite uneasy about his work.
