Pettibon came to prominence in the early 1980s in the southern California punk rock scene, creating posters and album art mainly for groups on SST Records, owned and operated by his brother, Greg Ginn. He has since gone on to international acclaim, earning several awards and exhibiting in major galleries and museums.

I was looking for an artwork to include in a newsletter. I wanted something to talk about friendship, while also giving a reference to social distancing and connections from afar.
