This rare Tyler, the Creator book from when he was a teenager is cool as hell
feat. young Frank Ocean, Syd, Earl Sweatshirt & others
Nick Weidenfeld has been making cool shit for TV for years — as Adult Swim’s head of development, he helped put on Tim & Eric and Rick and Morty; he created his own animation studio, ADHD, which put out great cult series like Lucas Bros. Moving Co.; he also headed up programming at Viceland and was an executive producer with Ezra Koenig on Netflix’s Neo Yokio, which is Blackbird Spyplane’s ~no. 4 TV show of all time in a tie with 1986 BBC Michael Gambon vehicle The Singing Detective. And just last week Nick rolled out a brand new animation label called Work Friends.
Even more impressive than any of that?? Nick 1) wears cool clothes and 2) is a producer on Ezra’s Beats 1 show Time Crisis, where we served up some rare intel the other day regarding our highly classified Rage Against the Machine merch exposé — you can listen to the episode here.
During some L.A.-area recon last year we breezed through Nick’s house and spotted a book called GOLF WANG that he helped create back in 2011 with photographer Michael Schmelling and Tyler, the Creator. Published in a limited run and long since out of print, GOLF WANG is full of photos shot by Tyler along with his friends & fellow Odd Future members back when they were teens.
