“My drawing came out of editorial-style cartoons. Music was one thing and art was another, and there weren't really any standards for my art. My work was just drawings. They weren't done with any aspirations of becoming a part of punk scene. They weren't about punk. They were just collections of drawings, some of which I xeroxed and sold.” ArtDoneOne ThingStyleBecomingSceneStandardsDrawingAspirationCollectionsPunkCartoonEditorials Author:Raymond Pettibon
“It's possible to do your best work at your highest level without competing. I'm not anticompetition, but at an individual level, it can be degrading for both sides. And it doesn't have to be that way. I've done pretty well at getting past that sort of thing, and it's a relief not to have the rancor.” WayWellsDonePastIndividualSidesLevelsHighestReliefCompetingBoth SidesBest WorkDegradingRancor Author:Raymond Pettibon
“What social media has done - Facebook, Twitter - is show the audience. I don't have an audience. When I make my work, it just goes out into the ether. I have a thick skin and it just brings me down to earth, you know, to realize how out-there and far away and paltry the audience is that gets what I'm saying. It's depressing if I let it get to me. And it's the same with hanging a show, the way it's put up, like, three stories high and you can't read a single word.” DoneEarthRealizingAudienceSkinsSocial MediaFar AwayDepressingSingle Word Author:Raymond Pettibon
