Cartoon & Estevan in the Source

Let’s Ride: Mr. Cartoon and Estevan Oriol


Just when you were starting to think that Mr. Cartoon was m.i.a., there he goes popping back on the scene again. Last we heard, the graph god was opening up a chain of retail shops throughout Cali with his SA Studios partner Estevan Oriol.

Called The Last Laugh, the stores sell everything from gothic tees to classic prints, designed and photographed by the two. Yet aside from the shops and the sick posters they designed for Righteous Kill–the first Bobby Deniro/Al Pacino flick since 1995’s Heat– Cartoon and Oriol are pairing up for their first 2008 exhibit at the Mesa Arts Center in Arizona.


Low and Slow will feature the works of several artists on Low Rider culture including photos, paintings, a panel discussion (featuring Cartoon and Oriol), a makeshift tattoo parlor and a low rider car show. The free show opens on September 12th, at 7pm and is open to the public.
