About Teen Angel’s Magazine
Known for its black and white prison-style art, poetic prison letters, and depictions of various barrios across the west, Teen Angels not only helped popularize Chicano street culture, but the iconic art behind it. The magazine, founded in 1979 by San Jose-based artist David Holland, became a mainstay at Chicano-clothing stores and lowrider shows over its 35 year existence. In many ways, it even served as the first national platform Chicanos used to communicate with each other prior to the web. C/S
