in celebration of the 2008 California Biennial (CB08), numerous LA native artists were asked to contribute pieces of art to hang on large building around LA. Raymond Pettibon, most famous for illustrating the artwork for Black Flag albums and flyers was one of the artists asked to be a part of this project. Pettibon decided to submit his artwork for 'I Thought California Was Different'. most will recognize Pettibon's artwork for one of Black Flag's best albums Everything Went Black. it is nice to see that people want to pay tribute to those who are less known now. this project is very similar to the project in San Francisco in which Upper Playground artists and photographers were asked to make light flags to hang across the city. artists involved in that included Jeremy Fish, Estevan Oriol, Usugrow, and many more. look for Pettibon and the other artists pieces around LA.
