Nike Sportswear x Mr. Cartoon “True Colors”

May 17, 2010HBTVby Staff47 Views

We recently had to opportunity to spend some time in Chicago with Nike Sportswear and Mr. Cartoon as they celebrated the launch of the brand’s collaborative capsule for the 2010 World Cup. Amongst other topics, the Los Angeles-based tattoo artist/designer spoke of the importance of representing the USA with his artwork and giving back to young artists and creatives alike. We also get a peek into the new gallery/retail space between NSW and St. Alfreds. Enjoy!

Directors: The Werehaus

    the internet “madness” Toon was referencing/lamenting obviously is the dumb shit like what stopthemadness typed…

    3 dots can mean a lot of different things, but no matter what it does mean it’s Toon’s perogative on whether to incorporate it in his art…you don’t know that man, nor what he’s all about so ease up on assuming shit….

    stop trippin’ on what others are doing and go out and try and be of some service to ppl that do what you do….if you don’t “do” anything, go find something…

    Not dissing the man. Mr Cartoon is dope, I just disagree with the gang banging shit! It has no place in this artistry. If you’ve come to my backyard and seen all the federal penitentiaries you would be not be coping that jive you have no idea about. Kids are dieing on the streets because someone has a blue or red shirt. Lives wasted because this is all they see. Dont be a robot and follow cool just because. Learn, then speak… if you don’t understand what the 3 dots represent i suggest you don’t defend them!
