ART SHOW BY RIC CLAYTON
LIVE MUSIC

At HVW8 Gallery
661 N Spaulding Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90036
Artist and musician Ric Clayton has been at the flashpoint of several cultural movements originating in Venice, California. His black and white illustrations for the thrash punk band Suicidal Tendencies are instantly recognizable around the world. Clayton not only created the logo and much of the early artwork for the band, but also played bass guitar for them for a time. He also created artwork for Neighborhood Watch, Excel, Against, Beowülf, and No Mercy.
Clayton was in the mix just as punk and metal cross-pollinated in the early ‘80s. He also stood at the crossroads of the Dogtown skating scene and cholo culture in Los Angeles. Impossibly, Clayton embodied and portrayed all of these movements simultaneously in his artwork.
