Justine Brown

Justine Brown used to paint Angel shirts 20 years ago, when our shop was on Robson Street. She went on to obtain a Masters in English Literature from the University of Toronto, taught English lit at Langara College in Vancouver and became an author and tango dancer. Now she’s back! Justine recently painted almost two dozen dazzling Angel shirts for kids, ranging from Size 1 to Size 8. Below are some of her latest creations, priced between $45 to $49, exclusively at Angel.

He recently explained how they came to be Dylan’s backing band on Letterman.
