Printed signatures by KAWS on the lower right of poster and lower area of inside cover; from an edition of unknown. KAWS’s career began as a graffiti artist in New York, NY, in the early 1990s. His images were seen on billboards, bus stops, and in phone booths. Immediately after graduation in 1996 from SVA, KAWS began working as a freelance artist for Disney. Some of his most popular works include his contributions to 101 Dalmations, Daria, and Doug. Once KAWS began to rise in popularity, his graffiti advertisements became highly sought after. He traveled extensively to work in Paris, London, Germany, and Japan. In 1998, he received the Pernod Liquid Art Award, which offers a grant to new artists. In late 1990s, KAWS began to design and produce limited-edition toys. These gained international popularity, especially in Japan. He also began to collaborate on several different toys, including with Nigo (Japanese, b.1970) for A Bathing Ape. Since, KAWS has embraced the commercialist spirit of Claes Oldenburg and Takashi Murakami, designing everything from Kanye West album covers to Nike sneakers. Avoiding the distinction between products and art objects, KAWS has shown his work increasingly in galleries and museums over the past decade; some of his most famous images are re-imagined versions of pop characters like Mickey Mouse and the Michelin Man.

Catalog Raisonné: Raymond Pettibon: the Books 1978-1998 (New York: D.A.P. c. 2000) Raymond Pettibon: Homo Americanus (David Zwirner Books) Raymond Pettibon: A Pen of All Work (Massimialiano Gioni 2017) Exhibitions: Raymond Pettibon, A Pen of All Work, The New Museum 2017 More on Raymond Pettibon: Raymond Pettibon is a contemporary American artist known for his stylized ink drawings combining images and text. His inventive narratives blend historical content with consumer culture to yield incisive critiques of contemporary society. “I was making my work as transparent as possible, without equivocations, without calling attention to itself, without apology,” he explained. “There's a lot of conventions in the art world that are not to be transgressed, but my economy of means doesn't abide by those strictures.” Born Raymond Ginn on June 16, 1957 in Tucson, AZ, the artist is self-taught, but cites drawings by William Blake, Edward Hopper, Francisco Goya, and John Sloan as instructive to his practice. Deriving inspiration from comics, cartoons, and other pop culture iconography, Pettibon began designing album covers and ephemera for his brother’s band Black Flag in the mid-1970s. He went on to produce cover art for Sonic Youth, the Minutemen...
