Juxtapoz Magazine - Umar Rashid and "The Kingdom of the Two Californias. La Epoca del Totalitarismo Part 2"
Briefly

"The whole world is full of popular misconceptions and horrible shit, and I just bring it to light in a very loose way. I make it accessible because if we're at each other's throats all the goddamn time, if we're all like, 'Fuck you. You did this to me,' it's just like old school feuding. And that has to end."
"Rashid opens The Kingdom of the Two Californias. La Época del Totalitarismo Part 2 at BLUM, the second installment in Rashid's Epoch of Totalitarianism series where we rejoin 'the artist's fictional Frenglish conquerors—whose visual tale the artist has authored for upwards of fifteen years—in the 1800s as they attempt to maintain a stronghold in the Americas.'"
"Rashid empowering a rebellious spirit, a victory over oppression, and his unique way of blending identifiable history with his own world, feels refreshing in our climate."
