“My contribution to the print is the DJ Calaca spinning records on two turntables. This image represents the Hip Hop Nation that has permeated all aspects of Chicano and Latino culture. It expresses the voice of "the Here and Now" and my generation's view on progressive culture, politics, and philosophy.” -- Omar

“My contribution to the print is the addition of the lettering. My "cholo" East Los Angeles style to reinforce our streetwise Latino heritage with the new millennium the title "the Here and Now" is what we are all about.” -- Chaz
