Raymond Pettibon: Plots Laid Thick
This is a volume on the work of the American artist Raymond Pettibon, an artist's book structured according to an idea by Pettibon himself, with his own drawings and writings, and including unpublished movie scripts and plays. At the end of the 1970s Pettibon finished his studies in economy, although he'd already lost interest by then in a career in that profession. After publishing various political vignettes in his university magazine, Pettibon was adopted by the punk movement in South Bay, Los Angeles. Some punk bands decided to use his drawings, accompanied by text, for their record sleeves, posters and handouts.
