Mister Cartoon AKA Mark Machado is world known Mexican- American tattoo and graffiti artist. He grew up in Los Angeles. His first real job started at age 12 airbrushing cars, and tee shirts. Later on in life he learned what is known as Fineline Style tattoo art or jail house tattoos which was first seen in the California prison system. Today that Fineline Style tattoo art is what has made him known world wide and kept him out of trouble. His clients are also among the worlds best known athletes, actors/actress, and musical artists like Eminem, Beyonce , Travis Barker, Amare Stodimire and many more.
He doesn't just tattoo, He is widely sought for sign painting, graffiti, automotive murals and magazine illustrations which makes him a universal artist. Recently he did a mural for Boys & Girls Club of American in Los Angeles.
He designs a lot of stuff for well known Nike. Ironically graffiti art is frowned upon but it has opened many doors for Mister Cartoon. So no matter what type of art you do, you should never give up.I like his creativeness. How he incorporates everything he knows. But what I like is the old graffiti, Chicano style art he does.
