Obama’s People by Nadav Kander
Taking inspiration from a 1976 Richard Avedon portrait series of Jimmy Carter’s cabinet-members for Rolling Stone Magazine, the New York Times recently tapped modern-master portraiteur Nadav Kander to capture the forming Obama administration in his signature style.

Teen Angels
A good description of Teen Angels magazine is that it’s almost a visual version of the Art Laboe Killer Oldies radio program’s dedication calls.
Starting in 1981, the periodical served as the unofficial magazine of the California Youth Authority (aka Gladiator School), and as such served as a vivid handbook of gang culture and graffiti.

Iconography: United Farm Workers eagle
Everybody nowadays wants to start or be a part of a movement. Movements almost always seem to have one graphic icon that comes to represent them. A clenched black fist, a bent cross, an angry snowman… These symbols have come to stand as concise visual representations and hubs for the causes or organizations they represent.
We at FTK Construction and Anti Laboratories™ thought it’d be helpful to the hundreds of aspiring “CEOs” and entrepreneurs we come into contact with to profile some effective icons that have come to represent successful movements throughout history up until now.

Envelope shoving.
The Met and its opening weekend is one thing in Fresno that was done absurdly right.
Absurd, yes. Because it’s Fresno. Doing something right.
The party was FUCKING CRACKING, too.

Michael Leon – Thing Maker.
I’m a thing maker. I respect thing makers.
Thing maker Michael Leon is an art director at Nike. He came up from skate-ing to being one of the leading navigators of the collective skate aesthetic as art director at Fourstar and a member of Girl’s Art Dump.
This video was made in 2003 about him. It’s an interesting throwback to look into where a mind that has done his part in shaping the landscape of streetwear and skate art and design over the last decade was way back when. I remember being particularly inspired when I first watched this when I was 16 on the possibilities and life you can build for yourself just by making shit.
Make some shit now.

Hella Elusive…
I actually got into a mean ass argument with 559Rell about the existence of the 375 mL Remy.
What it stemmed from actually, was we were talking about the potency of “Remy w/a whole triple stack in it,” which rose to regional acclaim after being featured in Fresno Uncensored.
His rationalization was that was actually a square ass way to do one thizzle. I tend to agree, as chewing them up and snorting them always seemed like the obvious and most efficient methods to me. But he then elaborated on his line of reasoning.
I quote, “If you got one thizzle in there and you’re passing it to 3 or 4 niggas everybody is really doing 1/4 of a thizzle.”
Touché Rell…
