Raymond Pettibon, No Title (Some things…)

Raymond Pettibon. No Title (Some things…), 2010, gouache on paper, 41 3/8 x 36 1/4 inches

“I don’t think I’ve ever done an image that was meant to be reoccurring in the beginning. What happens is that after drawing one you can’t leave them. They have more to say to you. In a way it can take on a life of its own. I guess people probably think that these are images that only an excessive relationship leads one to doing, like fifty Gumby or Manson drawings. But it’s not like that. I do actually like baseball and surfing and Gumby. Manson, I’m not a big fan of some things about him, but there are some other things that are interesting.”
