{"product_id":"9780976134466","title":"Raymond Pettibon: Red Tide Rising","description":"\u003cp\u003eAccording to the influential Los Angeles artist Mike Kelley, quoted in \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, many of Raymond Pettibon's earliest supporters were artists. Some people liked Raymond because they considered him a guy who didn't kiss the butt of the art world. Others thought he represented punk, or blue-collar Conceptualism or D.I.Y. What interested me about him was how he constructed things--like Lautreamont, who's my favorite writer--with all these different sources juggled and combined into something particular. Raymond had that definite auteur look, which was faux-romantic, faux-Gothic, very Tennessee Williams, very foppishly funny.\" Best known for his iconic album covers and zine-style ink drawings featuring surfers, old-time baseball players, gangsters, religious nuts, trains, Gumby and the character Vavoom from the old \u003ci\u003eFelix the Cat\u003c\/i\u003e cartoon, Pettibon is also the author of a series of super-lowfi home videos, made with his friends beginning in the 1980s.
