Quoted fromTheTownTalk.com, “Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal appears to have little tolerance for differences of opinion or disruptions to his carefully crafted political strategy, a lesson his agency chiefs and lawmakers who disagree with the governor continue to learn.
Some examples from recent months:
» Jindal’s allies fired an outspoken LSU System president who regularly criticized the governor’s policies.
» Jindal’s hand-picked House speaker removed legislative leaders who voted against bills backed by the governor.
» And Jindal ousted an agency leader who spoke out against a reorganization plan.
Most recently, Jindal’s revenue secretary appears to have been edged out of her job for expanding a tax break without Jindal’s knowledge. The expansion could have drained millions from the state treasury and received criticism it could worsen the state’s precarious budget situation.
Crossing or embarrassing Jindal has consequences!“

I was featured in the June 2010 edition of a local hometown magazine called 225 Magazine in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I was surprised when I got the request because this is the first local feature I have ever had. I’ve had many features done around the world but Louisiana is not my normal target audience. I was actually honored to be recognized in my own hometown because Baton Rouge is just not known for producing artists or art of any kind really. The majority of my business has been done in the UK, Germany and many other nations around the world as well as some work in New York and Hollywood. Please click on the image above to visit 225 Magazine online for the entire feature and if by some chance you happen to be local, you can pick the magazine up at nearly 300 locations in and around Baton Rouge, and it’s free. This feature is certainly not my best. It’s pretty short but I’m always humbled by and appreciative of any feature done on me. Oh, by the way, the picture of me was taken by a friend and brilliant artist by the name of Paul Roustan in New York recently. Google him. His work is amazing.

CALIFORNIA, 90420 Marijuana Documentary offering an in-depth look inside Oaksterdam University,“Weed College,”Opens on 4/20/12.
Oaksterdam University AKA “Weed College” Was Recently Raided by Federal Agents
Each year, marijuana enthusiasts and activists around the country gather to celebrate 4/20 as a holiday. This year, a new documentary entitled CALIFORNIA, 90420 will be released on 4/20/12 in over 50 theaters nationwide, making it one the widest theatrical releases ever for a marijuana-related documentary.
90420 focuses on the rapidly open and growing marijuana trade in the State of California, which is setting precedent for the rest of the nation. The film explores the burgeoning ‘above ground’ industry through the eyes of four, 20-something characters whose real lives are caught up in the changing green landscape. This groundbreaking feature documentary is directed by Dean Shull of Catchphrase Entertainment and co-directed by New Coast Productions, one of the guys that brought you the hit comedy, WAITING…
The release of CALIFORNIA 90420 could not be timelier, and not just because of the upcoming annual national celebration day of marijuana on April 20th. The film follows faculty and students at California’s Oaksterdam University, the nation’s first college to prepare students for careers in the ever changing marijuana industry and the epicenter of legalization efforts in California. Last Monday, federal agents from the DEA and IRS raided Oaksterdam University as well as the home of Oaksterdam University Founder, Richard Lee. Although medical marijuana is legal in California, it is still prohibited under federal law, leaving Oaksterdam in a precarious legal limbo.
DVD Wrap
With Oaksterdam University now the subject of intense media scrutiny, CALIFORNIA 90420 offers viewers a unique, unfiltered perspective into what really takes place behind the doors of the school. Following last week’s raid, Richard Lee announced his intention to step down as the leader of Oaksterdam University and pass the pipe to Dale Sky Jones, the current Executive Chancellor of Oaksterdam University.
A share of proceeds from the opening weekend box office will be donated to Oaksterdam University, in order to help ensure the school’s continued survival. CALIFORNIA 90420 will open on April 20, 2012, in select cities in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
CALIFORNIA 90420 is a New Coast Productions Film directed by Dean Shull (Waiting) and produced and written by Dean Shull, Steve Roberts and Colin Goldman. The film features Dale Sky Jones and Oaksterdam co-founders Richard Lee and Jeff Jones.
