Review

"Not unlike a gritty rock 'n' roll band, but with paint and brushes, colors and forms ... they are crazy-passionate about their work. That's the integral connection they share, even as their backgrounds are as varied and divergent as the sprawling metropolis from which they've emerged"--Bondo Wyszpolski "California Locos in Manhattan Beach"
The multicultural idea of the California Locos is a shared experience, a common one in Los Angeles with its melting pot reality for centuries. NeitherI nor the other original Locos invented it as much as we observed and expressed it in our time, being involved variously in the early formation of surf and skate, graffiti, west coast art, punk rock and blues. We and the idea were born and raised in the eclectic cultural milieu of our City of Los Angeles and we celebrate the aesthetic, ethnic and cultural zeitgeist alive and well here, which has now expanded internationally as a given.The original Locos do not claim ownership - we claim our place and role in it as representatives in that we were all "there" as it began and then unfurled. Before the "fame" of these subcultures were the unknown and unsung builders of it - those who did it for no other reason than their love for it and the fact that it must be done. They helped lay the foundation and we each know many.--Dave Tourjé "Book"

Long Description

California Locos brings together over 40 years of LA culture , presented through the eyes and hands of the artists who shaped it. Featuring three generations of legendary LA artists , this book chronicles the life and work of the five original locos and expands this core membership to include works by Mister Cartoon, Shepard Fairey, Estevan Oriol, Retna, Slick and Robert Williams. Surf and skate culture, street art, tattoo, street photography, graphic design and music come together on over 160 pages to celebrate Los Angeles in all its exuberant diversity and raw grittiness. This book embodies the creative breeding ground provided by the City of Angles, chronicling its' influence on each artist all of which are major influencers of West Coast and worldwide popular culture in their own right. From the godfather of cholo graffiti, the brain behind the iconic street image "Senor Suerte," Charles Bojorquez, over artists David Tourje, Gary Wong and Norton Wisdom to the designer who gave a face to the 60s hippy movement, John van Hamersveld, this book provides the compelling background story. 40 pages of archive material give exclusive insights into the Southern Californian style rebellion. At the same time, California Locos takes this legacy into the present. From Shephard Fairey's influential Obama campaign posters, over Mr Cartoon's tattoos inspired by LA street life to Estevan Oriol's photographs of LA gangs and celebrities and Retna's highly instagrammable graffiti paintings, the next generation proves again and again that Los Angeles influence is a force to be reckoned with. Further context is added by contributions from renown writers such as the art critics Peter Frank and Shana Nys Drambot of LA Weekly and Huffington Post. After the success of Estevan Oriol's LA photography volumes, Drago is at it again with another book chronicling the Golden State's unique mix of high and low culture.

Review Quote

The multicultural idea of the California Locos is a shared experience, a common one in Los Angeles with its melting pot reality for centuries. Neither I nor the other original Locos invented it as much as we observed and expressed it in our time, being involved variously in the early formation of surf and skate, graffiti, west coast art, punk rock and blues. We and the idea were born and raised in the eclectic cultural milieu of our City of Los Angeles and we celebrate the aesthetic, ethnic and cultural zeitgeist alive and well here, which has now expanded internationally as a given. The original Locos do not claim ownership - we claim our place and role in it as representatives in that we were all "there" as it began and then unfurled. Before the "fame" of these subcultures were the unknown and unsung builders of it - those who did it for no other reason than their love for it and the fact that it must be done. They helped lay the foundation and we each know many.

Promotional "Headline"

The ultimate West Coast anthology featuring three generations of legendary artists who shaped LA culture.

Excerpt from Book

As new generations indelibly impacted by the Locos vision come into their own, this period and these artists continue to grow in recognition of how, when they needed one, instead of worrying about institutional conventions they just built their own lane -- right down the middle of the art world.
