Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 кві 2024
- Mr Cartoon is one of the most famous tattoo artists to ever put ink to skin. His artistic journey began in graffiti before moving to airbrushing clothes and low rider cars. He's got a line of Turtle Wax car care, designed wheels, and has an amazing garage of his own. We talk about the history of low riders; how hydraulics work; the legality of them; how he got into cars; wild builds over the years; the hardest form of art; whether a celebrity makes him nervous; the hardest body part to tattoo; and so much more.
Stars such as Eminem, Travis Barker, Slash, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, along with athletes like CC Sabathia, Kobe Bryant, Lewis Hamilton, and Carlos Boozer wear Cartoon’s art on their skin. Cartoon’s art has been featured in numerous publications including Rolling Stone, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Complex, Juxtapoze, XXL, GQ, and he's had art showing in London, Paris, Tokyo, and his hometown of Los Angeles.

100% you can tell this dude means business & he’s respected! You could tell Matt was treading lightly w/ the questions lol
That was great - nice to learn about a totally different part of car culture!
This episode is a great reminder of why this is my favorite podcast. You guys have amassed a wildly impressive archive and body of work that impeccably encapsulates our hobby.
It truly is amazing when a guest whos not a radio person can just sit down and flow like this with so much confidence.
It was kinda cool to be the only lowrider invited to your WCCS x BCC gathering last September.
My dad and I were surprised at the amount of genuine interest in the car’s paint, hydraulics, and subculture itself. Plus, it was awesome to meet you guys in person.
Love this. Really nice to hear and appreciate different sides to the car culture, And our different cultures overall. Very welcome addition to an already great Podcast 😎
humble chill guy.
It's 3:45 in the morning here & that was truly a interesting interview, I put it on to fall asleep to, I'd listen to it again later today at work, but you held my attention till the end, thanks, Rj in Oz
I love this shit. Nothing looks cooler than hitting switches down the boulevard
This dude speaks with such a weight. You can tell he's seen, heard, and smoked some real shit!
Was it a coincidence that Matt had his tattoos covered in the presence of Mr Cartoon 😂
So cool seeing such a legend here. And as much as I knew him for tattoos and his graphic work, I didn't know he was so much into cars!
I’ve worked right on the corner of Van Nuys and Burbank Blvd for years, love the low cruises.
I love the passion and personality that goes into lowriders. Great guest!
This dude is such a great guest. He’s one of my favorites. Just a chill, honest, knowledgeable dude.
Kudos to Matt & Zach opening up to a different car culture! So interesting! Being from the South, I’d love to see him talk with someone about Donks (if they’re still called that), and rear engine trikes; two segments rarely appreciated outside certain circles. Well done, sir!
"Nothing will dry a girl up more than a FWD Impala" is hilarious and absolute facts.
This is a great episode.
One thing I have always loved and respected about low riders is the extreme amount of hours and detail in any given car. The custom engraving, the murals. Extreme layered paint jobs. Chrome plating. Etc etc. it just goes on but it’s so cool to see how much of a labor of love it is.
That interview turned out to be very interesting. Really good questions!
This was a fantastic episode! 👌🏽
Two minutes in and I'm already learning about a car culture I've always wanted to - this is gonna be a great one!
There were indeed sone great questions from yourselves and the viewers. Really fascinating guest. Kudos.
Absolutely loved this one.
This is fantastic. Great dive into another aspect of the culture.
What a great change of pace
This was pretty cool. The 64 Impala is one of the most bad ass cars. Low Ridaaaa!
I love this podcast and I watch every episode because of the way that you guys interview people and talk about every aspect of car culture with anybody who’s open to talking about it. Great show thank you Mr. Cartoon, and Thank you Matt and Zach.
This was so great. OG L.A. car culture.
I really hope this video racks up more views. I have very little knowledge of low rider culture although I had an idea of who Mr Cartoon was. Really good interview guys.
This was fun! A new perspective on car culture most people don't know about or certainly don't understand. Thanks for having Mr Cartoon on the show.
Cool guest
Great pod gents, a different car culture than the usual on here, such an interesting world. Cheers from Australia
Excellent show! I've been a fan of Mr. Cartoon for a long time. He's 100% right about thw young generation not wanting to put in the hours doing the labor. I blame part of it on modern "throw away" parts.
Mr. Cartoon is a living legend all respect!!👍👍
Amazing attention to detail and culture. These are rolling art. Favorite would be late '40s fastback. Thanks for sharing.
Never heard of him. Good interview.
Cartoon is a goat, wish you would have kept him longer.
Great podcast
I fkin love this guy
Hope Nike can retro the Mr. Cartoon Air Force Ones from 2000s.
🔥
I took a vintage dump this morning!😅
Great guest but damn does he look similar to Ricky Gervais, especially in the thumbnail 😅
Oh this should be good!
Honeslty as a Brit I’ve always found this sort of car culture bizarre and never understood it at all - until now
CYBER MATT.
Just finished listening. They regerenced a documentary/video towards the end but didnt catch who. Esteban or Estevan? Anyone know what this was a refence to?
Is he from East LA? 😅
The Harbor area of L.A.
🧑🏾💻I'm here
About Time
LOVE this episode... design and style discussions don't happen much nowadays, and it's really missing from the car world. Unfortunately, a lot of it most likely has to do with the last decades being so incredibly bleak in arts in general. It's all about tech, regardless of domain... and sure, it's nice to have every car drive MUCH better than anything pre 2000, but we're in such of an artistic hole... it's really depressing as an artist. I work in film, and nowadays my job is to push out technically perfect animation for shit scripts we all know are going to get destroyed by critics and the public... but somehow, the industry continues to push these drone movies out, like SUVs. I am an optimist at heart, and I do believe that everything is a pendulum swing... vacuum creates space for innovation, which, in the car world, oddly enough is starting to be filled by Hyundai, Kia... manufacturers who had nothing going on design wise, and have nothing to lose. It's a slow transition, but I really, REALLY hope we're going to have an artistic boom in the next decade. The tech world is absolute shit. AI seems to be the turning point tho. Good artists and screenwriters, designers... will have SO MUCH value... because the competition will be trying to cheap out on design and use AI, which will inevitably lead to blandness, without anyone able to put any soul back into it. The value of talent will rise.
Nice
I'm glad most people seemed to enjoy it, but snoozefest for me
ZZzzzzzzzzz
