About Estevan Oriol
Estevan Oriol is an internationally celebrated photographer, visual artist, director and urban lifestyle entrepreneur. Beginning his career as a hip-hop club bouncer turned tour manager for popular rap groups Cypress Hill and House of Pain, Estevan’s passion for photography developed while traveling the world. With an influential nudge and old camera from his father, renowned photographer Eriberto Oriol, Estevan began documenting life on the road and established a name for himself amidst the burgeoning hip-hop scene. Nearly 20 years later, Oriol’s extensive portfolio juxtaposes the glamorous and gritty planes of LA culture, featuring portraits of famous athletes, artists, celebrities and musicians as well as latino, urban and tattoo culture lifestyles. Oriol work also extends to collaborations with major brands and artists.

About Teen Angel
Born in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, artist Dave Holland, also known as Teen Angel, became enamored with the Chicano, Lowrider and Pachuco cultures at an early age, drawing everything from old Chevys to religious icons to life in the streets. His obsession led him to move to Southern California in the early 1970’s, where he eventually worked full-time as an illustrator and writer with Lowrider Magazine. In 1980, while still working for Lowrider, he founded Teen Angels Magazine, publishing artwork by those incarcerated, as well as dedications, photographs, poems and articles, all spotlighting the Varrios of California and the Southwest. Teen Angel remained anonymous, publishing over 200 issues of the magazine and its spin-offs. He passed away in 2015 at the age of 75, leaving a mysterious legacy and a lifetime of artwork continuing his story.
