much respect to Mr. Cartoon. Lulu & Big Flaco what up!

Upper Playground is proud to announce several collaborative projects, to be released this week, with Mister Cartoon. Inspired by the city of Los Angeles, New York graffiti, and low rider car culture, legendary West Coast artist Mister Cartoon has gained grand scale notoriety through tattooing several hip hop artists and celebrities. Mister Cartoon’s work has also appeared in a number of magazines, album designs, clothing lines and product collaborations. In addition to the Montana collaboration seen yesterday, the LA-based artist has designed his first ever t-shirt graphic for Upper Playground with an image that combines his classic iconography and impeccable lettering. The shirt is now available through the Upper Playground online store.
