Children of the nineties. A generation that was bred to be individuals. A generation in search of self realization, and the acquisition of happiness through any means necessary. What lies in between the pages of this magazine is the embodiment of the millennial generation. It is fun, it is random, it is raw, it is controversial, and it is made for us. The photography, art, insight, and fashion that awaits inside was conceived by the substance of our generation. Enjoy it. Immerse yourself in the thoughts, and concepts that define us, and make us the children of the nineteen nineties.

FOOL

S GO LD R VERS ECOR DS IRAK US CREW

On May 4th, 2012 the Fool’s Gold Record store in Brooklyn had a collaboration show with the graffiti collective IRAK. Fool’s Gold is record company based out of Brooklyn, New York. This colorful label features the likes of several different artist such as A-Trak, Chromeo, Onra, and Treasure Fingers. Since the label built their store they have had several artist installments over the years and this time they featured some of New York’s finest, the IRAK crew. Though all of the members of the IRAK crew didn’t show up, many fans came from all corners of the tri-state area to show love.

HOW DO YOU STAY DISTINCT? HOW DO YOU STAY HOW DO YOU STAY DISTINCT? DISTINCT? “We try to keep expressing new ideas, offending people at all costs, not respecting anyone’s personal beliefs. It’s just like an episode of South Park or the grandmother sucking someone off—we want to put it all on one shirt, just push everyone’s buttons at once, because that’s our human right, to make people react to shit. There’s no better fuckin’ thing to know you’re alive than to get reactions out of people in New York City; that’s the philosophy for our line. Just Keep pushing the bar. Our clothing brand comes from our lives together, our history together and our future. There is an endless supply of things to offend people with. We haven’t begun to focus on what our strong or potent message is, we have done some bright colors offending grandmothers shit. The line is young, we’re young. This shit is growing, we are growing…no way to know how this will end up.” - EAR SNOT Mass Appeal Q&A

AN O N YM O U S MAD VI LLA I N Y

PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANNEKA ALLMAN

Manny: Anonymous Mad Villainy is a collective of artists that collaborate and work together to create quality street wear.

U WH S M YT A D HE V N IL A LA M IN E Y ?

Krispy: I see Anonymous Mad Villainy as a creative collective. A way for all of us to be able to express ourselves through the art that we do WHAT I S "AN O N Y M O U S as well as plastering our work on the most M A D V I L L A I N Y"? portable piece of billboard there is; clothes that a person wears. We make streetwear because that’s what inspires us. but we also incorporate our art and our creative influences outside of other clothing companies as our way of bringing cool unique stuff to people who appreciate the same unconventional ways of expressing themselves as we do. HOW DID IT Thor: ALL START? Krispy and Vickery came up with it and asked me to be apart of it. And we did really well for a while but it kind of plateaued. That is until we brought Manny into it. Now i feel like we’ve come together. Krispy has a very erratic abstract style. Vickery has some crazy hands and a very good eye for detail. Manny is incredibly talented with anything on the computer. I’ve never seen anything like it. And I like to think of my style as a fun house mirror; people with WAY too big ears, eyes, lips, and hands. Vickery: Well when Krispy and me started we were going to call the company ANON, because that was the name Thor: Ask Krispy and Vickery. Its just of our graffiti crew at the time. In dope. Very “rebel rebel” but retrospect this was stupid because we knew of a company called ANON also this old timey sense of already n shit so we elaborated on the bad guy. Mr. Hyde and name a bit and came up with Anonymous the Creature from the Mad Villainy. I mean… it is graffiti. Anony Black Lagoon’s mous artists creating art illegally seen as mad incestual love villainy. We try and keep our graffiti roots with us, child. so the name kind of helps stick that. Also there’s a little homage to MF Doom’s “Madvillain” album, that shit is sick.

Manny: SO WIT H ALL THE OTHER I think we stand apart from other big names in street INDEPENDANT BRANDS OUT wear because we are super THERE DOING THERE THING involved with every aspect AND ALL THE OFFICIAL SHIT of the production of the LI KE MISHKA, 10 DEEP, clothing. We have the adSUPREME AND STUSSY, vantage of having a small, HOW DO YOU STAND OUT? close-knit group and we’ve all taken the time out to learn about all aspects of running our business, instead of splitting the responsibilities between multiple people. Krispy: I feel like we stand apart from them in a few ways. First of all, we’re coming up but we’re still learning. We learn new stuff and have new points of views presented to us everyday. We make all of our stuff by hand which is something that some companies do but, the vast majority of them don’t. Most companies also have artists come in to do some design work for them while the people running the company sit back and handle the business end. We handle every single nuance, from start to finish. everything on the business end up to the production and sales of the shirt. A lot of companies are in the industry to make money and make a living while we’d love to do that but, none of us have pocketed a dime since we started everything goes back into buying more supplies and materials

KRISPY INTERVIEW

Over the years graffiti has changed its face. Originally, the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;graffitiâ&#x20AC;? was a term associated with vandalism. Graffiti was something malicious. However, throughout the years graffiti has become an art form. Cans, markers, mops, stickers, scribes are all items used to make a mark on society. There is a movement going on right now amongst the youth. Stickers. In cities such as New York and Philadelphia there are groups of artists who use stickers to put their name up. In this issue we have an interview with a well known sticker artist from Philadelphia. His name, K R I S P Y Photo by Damon Landry

Do you plan on making a career out of sticker art like NoseGo did, or is it just a hobby? Honestly I would love to professionally do art. Asker and Walruce and I have a clothing company that we started together so if I did art professionally it may be more inclined towards that sort of work. Regardless I would love to do art for a living and do projects that make me happy Ever get caught? I've been caught here and there, pissed off people asking me to stop putting up stickers, cops confiscating stickers, running from cops, etc. But I've never been in any trouble for street art.

How did you get into sticker art? Asker and Walruce had been doing stickers for quite a while before me, somewhere around a year or so. I always loved graffiti growing up and thought all the different creative styles were really sick, but I’ve always had trouble with doing letter based pieces and having good control with a can (till I practice more). From watching Asker and Walruce do stickers it showed me that you didn’t have to be amazing at burners, or be willing to go out and spray every clean surface in the city. A couple 228’s and some paint markers was enough to get the job done.
