Raymond Pettibon & Nelson. New Wavy Gravy. 1985 limbed 373/500 A significant figure of the Southern Californian #punk scene in the late 70s and 80s, Raymond #Pettibon started his artistic career making scrappy zines, handbills and flyers for his band #BlackFlag and his brother’s record label, SST Pubs. These early #zines feature comic-like illustrations paired with bizarre, ironic, and often seemingly disjointed text. Particularly focusing on the dissemination of post-war American culture, Pettibon works with recurring themes of sexuality, violence, youth-culture, religion and idols. Lawndale: SST Publications, 1985. Staplbound offset print. FIRST EDITION. Early example of a Pettibon work with inclusions from Nelson Tarpenny. Numbered 373 in red pen from the edition of 500. 8 ½ x 5 ½”. Toning to perimeter; light edge wear.
