THE WHAT: Individuality in Ink
nununu and Mister Cartoon have teamed up to create an iconic collection that’s as bold, unique and uncompromising as those who wear it. The outcome is the result of a powerful, shared mission — to unleash the individuality inside every kid, with jaw-dropping styles that help them live their lives OUT LOUD.
This creative collection demonstrates how two very different artistic innovators
can unite to produce something refreshing and original, thanks to a singular
vision. By fusing LA street style, ink culture and chic fashion — the nununu +
Mister Cartoon collaboration encourages every little (and big) human to
BE THAT KID.
The why:
Not that really need an excuse to collab with one of our favorite and inspiring artists, but we do want to point you in the direction of "LA ORIGINALS", a docoumantry about Mister Cartoon and long time partner in crime, photographer Estevan Oriol and their life and artistic journey as pioneers of LA street art. blah blah blah...
The who: mister cartoon
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Mister Cartoon was immersed in art from an early age. He began his career as a graffiti artist before branching into murals, album covers, logos, and now most famously known for his tattoos.
His richly detailed, hand-rendered designs pull much of their inspiration from the Los
Angeles of his own youth. CARTOON’s work has helped bridge the gap between
those hardscrabble beginnings and the style’s current popularity. Mister
Cartoon has gained a worldwide following from his tattooing, with a clientele that includes the likes of Eminem, Travis Barker, Christina Aguilera, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, and Snoop Dogg. He’s attracted a diverse and devoted fan base for his
work in other media as well. The result has been highly acclaimed gallery appearances and art shows in London, Paris, Tokyo, and beyond, as well as activations alongside global brands like Nike, Netflix, Apple, Louis Vuitton and the Los Angeles Dodger. Service to the community has been an essential part of Mister Cartoon's career, where he is active in outreach programs, sharing his knowledge with young people and devoting time to many community-based initiatives.
