DISRUPT the Fowler: Mister Cartoon

March 19, 2021 | 4:00PM - 5:00PM

Mister Cartoon is a DISRUPTOR in the fine arts. His refinement of the fine line technique in graffiti, canvas, murals, and – most famously – tattoos, challenges the boundaries of art and brings Los Angeles street art style into galleries and international exhibitions. Mister Cartoon also infiltrates corporate design through partnerships with such companies as Microsoft and Nike. Join Fowler and DISRUPT for a conversation with Mister Cartoon, who, through his community-based initiatives, serves as a mentor and inspiration to Angelenos and those beyond the city.
