My story meeting Mr. Cartoon around 2004....Back in the days I had a T-shirt business and thru a friend (NERV Graffiti artist from Bell Gardens)was asked to make a custom shirt for Mr. Cartoon was super excited!!! It was a picture of one of his children laying across one of his arm sleeve tattooed. We went to his Tattoo shop (DTLA) to hand over his shirt and was an honor to meet him in return he gifted me a Limited DS pair of Nike sneakers collaboration Air Force 1 X Mr. Cartoon with México colorway couldn’t believe what was happening!!! Hard work paid of like he said “when the doors open you go right thru” dreams come true!!! thanks Mr. Cartoon for the inspiration Arriva La Raza!!! 🇲🇽 🃏 👍🏽

Just finished watching and this is the first No Jumper interview I've ever seen from the first to the very last second, it came out really natural & flowy. Mister Cartoon is a legend! Just saw the Netflix documentary earlier today and I sooo regret not knowing about him earlier, as there are so many of his artworks I've seen throughout the years not even knowing it's all just one man! Artistic legend! 🌴🎭

Mister Cartoon is a legend! I was lucky enough to go with a friend that got tatted by him once, and got to see him in his element. Never knew much about him outside of his work, so this interview was dope to get some insight to the man behind the name.

This tha shit we want adam. Miss them classic interviews. Ik for me that was tha best times watching ur channel

[@DirtCobaine]

Fuck as an artist with many other interests in life who doesn’t know what they want to do other than I know I just want to create. Whether it’s paintings, drawings, music, movies, clothes, etc. this interview inspires me. Lately I’ve found a way to monetize my art and I’ve been doing flower paintings on wooden canvases and have been making copies of popular ones and selling them and it’s been working, but sometimes I get discouraged because it’s like I don’t know how exactly I’m going to turn this into a business lol but seeing this motivates me because I just have to stick with it and keep putting myself out there. I really needed to see this

[@therealchicken7395]

Had no idea who this guy was until I saw the video, cool guy and cool story, good job Adam
