TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON A FEW PROJECT THIS YEAR 2014-2015. OUR BIGGEST PROJECT WAS BRINGING BACK TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE. WE HAD A LOT OF FUN WORKING ON IT. I CANT TAKE ALL THE CREDIT CAUSE MY BRO "RICH WESTKOAST" DID ALL OF THE WORK, BUT IT WAS A HUGE DREAM OF HIS TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT PEOPLE TRY AND INTERFERE, WHEN THEY SEE SOMETHING GOOD HAPPENING. HOPE THAT THE MAGAZINE WILL BE AROUND FOR  YEARS TO COME. IM JUST GLAD THAT OUR COMPANY  PLAYED A HUGE ROLE ON BRINGING IT BACK AFTER IT HAD BEEN AWAY FOR ALMOST A DECADE. 

THANX TO EVERYONE THAT SUPPORTED. 

MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR ARTWORK AND MORE DESIGNS WE CREATE AT 

WWW.OGFAMILY.COM

HERE IS MORE FROM "RICH WESTKOAST"

Don't know where to begin, but after today I will no longer be the Editor of TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE. I have been editor for the last 3 years, and have been working with the sons of TEEN ANGEL for the last 8 years. It was not the fault of the sons at all, and we will continue to work together on other things.

There is another party, that at first seem to have good intentions trying to promote TEEN ANGEL the artist. We have tried to work with them, but they lacked communication and cooperate. They had also filed for Trademark without the knowledge of anybody from the family or myself. I have tried to help the best I can, but me not being the owner, it's not my decision to make, wether to fight or continue to try to cooperate with them. Meanwhile the magazine cannot move forward.

I do hope that TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE continues somehow, someway, but as it looks, it is real doubtful. I do hope that TEEN ANGEL is recognized as the great artist that he was and everything he did for our culture. TEEN ANGEL has been one of my biggest inspirations in art, as well as business, never selling out for any amount of money, but thriving through staying true to himself and what he and the magazine represented.

I WILL CONTINUE TO RUN THE INSTAGRAM, FACEBOOK AND BLOGGER, AND ITEM WILL STILL BE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE ON THE BIG CARTEL SITE, UP UNTIL JUNE 13TH. THEN WE WILL HAVE AN ART SHOW "LEGENDS NEVER DIE"

TEEN ANGELS X OG UPDATE:

FINALLY GOT STARTED ON THIS PROJECT. TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE X ORIGINAL GANGSTER. WILL BE DEBUTING AT THIS YEARS INK AND IRON SHOW IN LONG BEACH.

STARTIN FROM THE BEGINNING

I WAS WORKING ON A PROJECT. BUT MADE A FEW MISTAKES. EVERYBODY KNOWS, WHEN YOUR WORKING WITH PEN OR MARKER, THERE'S NO ERASING (SAME WITH TATTOOS). IT HAPPENS SOMETIMES, BUT HERES A SNEAK PEAK, A PART THAT CAME OUT DECENT, AT LEAST I CAN START AGAIN, MAKE IT BETTER.

NEW PROJECT: OG X TA

BARELY GOT BACK INTO DRAWING ABOUT A YEAR AGO. FOR A FEW YEARS I WOULD JUST MAKE A SKETCH AND VECTOR IT FROM THERE.UNTIL LAST YEAR MIKE STRACHAN AT METAL MULISHA ASKED ME IF I COULD MAKE MY DESIGNS USING MY DRAWINGS BY HAND. I WAS LITTLE RUSTY BUT, NOW I'M GETTIN IN THE GROOVE, DOING STUFF FOR FAMOUS STARS AND STRAPS, THE REBELS CREW, CITY LOCS AND MORE. OUR LATEST PROJECT IS A COLLABORATION WITH ORIGINAL GANGSTER APPAREL AND TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE, THAT SONS OF TEEN ANGEL ASKED US TO DO. THIS SHOULD BE COMING OUT NEXT YEAR AT THE BEGINING OF SUMMER. MEANWHILE HERES A SNEAK PEEK AT ONE OF THE SKETCHES WAITING TO BE INKED UP.

THE FIRST ONE: TEEN ANGELS

JUST GOT THE FIRST ANF SECOND ISSUE OF TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINE, PRETTY KOOL. NOT MUCH DRAWINGS IN THESE EARLY ISSUES, BUT STILL A LOTTA KOOL PICS AND OTHER STUFF. HERES 2 PICS INSIDE:

PEN TESTING: 70S CHOLA

DRAWIN I DID A WHILE BACK, TESTIN OUT SOME SHADING STYLES, WITH PENS AND MARKERS.

OLD SKOOL TEEN ANGELS

PICKED UP SOME OLD SKOOL TEEN ANGELS MAGAZINES A FEW WEEKS AGO AT THE POMONA FAIRPLEX. THESE ARE 92 I BELIEVE, WITH MOST OF THE DRAWINGS FROM 87-88. THEY'RE PRETTY KOOL AT 11X17. GOT PLENTY OF OLD PICS AND IDEAS FROM THIS. WAS A GREAT FIND. US HERE AT WESTKOAST GRAPHICS ALWAYS GOTTA STAY TO OUR OWN CULTRA,(NOT THAT IT BAD TO GET INFLUENCED BY OTHER CULTURES AND SCENES).
