Hot off the Rizzoli press, My Rules is a massive survey of the striking work of Glen E. Friedman. A pioneer of skate, punk, and hip-hop photography, Glen is best known for his nearly four decades of work capturing and promoting rebellion via portraits of musicians such as Fugazi, Black Flag, Ice-T, The Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat, The Misfits, Bad Brains, The Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., and Public Enemy, as well as skateboarding originators that include the Z-Boys, Tony Alva, Jay Adams, Alan "Ollie" Gelfand, Duane Peters, Stacy Peralta, and a very young Tony Hawk. Designed in association with artist Shepard Fairey, My Rules includes many never-before-published images documenting important heroes and influential moments from three of the most significant countercultures of the last quarter of the twentieth century - ones in part shaped and defined by Friedman’s photographs. A remarkable chronicle as well as primer of the origins of radical street culture, contributors to the book include C. R. Stecyk III, Shepard Fairey, Chuck D., Adam Horovitz, Rick Rubin, Tony Alva, Ian MacKaye, and Henry Rollins.
