ReplyDeleteHere's a link to an excellent profile of Pettibon in the Times a few years back by art critic Michael Kimmelman. He's a little "holier than thou" with respect to Pettibon's fans in the music world, who he seems to suggest don't understand Pettibon's work. Whatever. Lot's of other interesting detail about the artist, though.

His album cover work opened my eyes to an entire world I never knew existed. Thank God for the Minutemen.
