1000 piece puzzle featuring artwork by Umar Rashid. Puzzle includes an interview with the artist.

Did the Battle of Malibu actually happen? Probably not. Ok, definitely not. But also maybe it did? Umar Rashid has given the question a lot of thought and decided that it would be cool if it had happened so for all intents and purposes it did. And if the Chumash, Tongva, Gabrielino, and other indigenous LA types had in fact gone on to fight the Spanish, armed with a little red Corvette and some moxie then, well, we'd have liked to see that. So here it is. It happened.

Umar Rashid (b. 1976, Chicago, IL) employs writing, illustration, painting, and sculpture to construct alternative historical narratives that reference a panoply of cultures, collapsing geography and time. Word play and double entendres permeate his pictures and can prove to be a dizzying hopscotch of cinema, rap, anime, and literature intertwined as epic battle scenes.
