The Art of Mister CARTOON
About Just My Imagination
Mister CARTOON’s Just My Imagination focuses on airbrushing and drawings on a variety of surfaces. It also highlights the largest body of work for a single show. In addition to its various media, it runs the gamut from a metal canvas handcrafted out of aluminum to perfection, to the use of candy enamel automotive paint.
Beyond the Streets Mister CARTOON
Mister CARTOON has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the world, with stops in Tokyo, Paris, and London. This special occasion marks an unprecedented milestone for the artist, as this is his first solo opening in Los Angeles.
Just My Imagination immerses the viewer into a fantasy world. Mister CARTOON’s ingenuity as an artist is inspired by of his working-class upbringing. Therefore all of the emotions and experiences associated with growing up in Los Angeles through the ‘80s, ‘90s, and 2000s are incorporated. His love for car culture, graffiti and past eras of music where songs create a nostalgic feeling, is ultimately what he hopes will also be felt by art lovers attending the show.
