TEEN ANGELS >>>>> ORIGINALS MAGAZINE

For some that dont know. I have been thankful to be part of TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE with Johnny "Smiley" Holland and David "Travieso" Medina. David "Payaso" Holland showed much support along with Jacob (ca_whoso). Of course we couldnt have done it without all the help from others, Leanne "Elrod" Rodriguez, Nancy Zuniga, and of courseJose Valle aka The Homeboy Mad of Souleros Ball. I was the Editor for the magazine form the end of 2012 till mid 2015. We came out with 3 issue 232, 233, and 234. Many people had forgotten or thought that TEEN ANGELS was long gone, but it was brought back just  in time to represent the people once again. Some people thought it ws a bootleg, or that we didnt have authorization, but everything was legit as can be. We also introduced TEEN ANGELS to many youngsters here in the states and many overseas tattoo artists.
It was a great thing to have TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE back again.

At the same time the founder of TEEN ANGELS, known as TEEN ANGEL was living quitely as an artist in San Bernardino, CA. He and his friend David were working in promoting his artwork and carrying on his legacy. We reached out to David and TEEN ANGEL, to help them and work together, so they can once again be part of the magazine he started. Unfortunately not everyone saw eye to eye. In the next few months following TEEN ANGEL passed away. David Trade marked the name of "TEEN ANGELS" and TEEN ANGEL MAGAZINE". ...I Decided the best thing for me to do was retire as editor of the magazine.

I felt there was a huge void in the varrios acrosss the world with out it. There was nothing that covered the art, poetry, and lifestyle of the varrios. I decided that it was time for a new era to happen. In the begining of 2016 I created ORIGINALS MAGAZINE. now on its 3rd issue ORIGINALS serves as the magazine for the people, and carries on the legacy of TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE. We do hope that in the future that we can come to an understanding with and boost TEEN ANGEL, TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE, and ORIGINALS to a much deserved and respected level by everyone in the world to know.
