Show us what inspires your personal brand!

Hip-hop, lowriders, and tattooing are just a few things that inspire Mister Cartoon’s artwork, but now we want to see what inspires you. From the list of things that interest you to your final spray-painted personal icon, we want to see what you’ve been creating.

A few things to think about as you get your personal branding down to a fine art:

Like any art form, building your personal logo takes practice. This is a class you might want to come back to as you advance through your art. As you push through and evolve, you’ll fine-tune your personal logo and your art style.
Remember the importance of building a strong foundation. Mister Cartoon owes a lot of his success to the thousands of hours he spent perfecting his art on the streets of LA. Once you get the basics down pat, you’ll have the starting point you need to push off to even bigger projects.
This class isn’t just about tattooing or graffiti art. It’s also about design, getting outside of your current mindset, getting inspired, and taking your art out into the real world. Remember the mental side of things is just as important as the physical!
