ACCLAIM x Estevan Oriol sneak peek
Below is the first peek at the ACCLAIM x Estevan Oriol collector kits which will be making their public debut at Sydney's premier sneaker spot Espionage on Oxford St tonight from 6.30pm. Unfortunately due to a manufacturing fault the collector boxes will not be available tonight so we will be showing the tees and hard-cover mags and taking orders for the kits which will be available for pickup next week or can be mailed out directly. We're hoping to have the boxes for the Melbourne launch tomorrow night. We have been receiving an overwhelming number of enquiries about the Collector Kits and due to overseas orders we have had to limit the total quantity for Australia to 75 units so we advise anyone who wants to secure a kit to get in early and place an order at the Sydney launch tonight or tomorrow at Heist Store in Melbourne.
Warren Sapp x Estevan Oriol
Warren Sapp used to be a defensive tackle for the Oakland Raiders. Now he's retired and he dances the rhumba on Dancing With The Stars on NBC. Some people might say that Dancing With the Stars is damaging to your street cred, but you know what Warren Sapp does to make sure there's no damage? He rocks an Estevan Oriol shirt during the show when he gets interviewed about his rhumba techinque.

Jon Krashna bike
Jon Krashna’s bike
Words by Mister Cartoon
Baggers used to be for old bags. All that is changing though, around 10 years ago the homies started to get a Harley bagger which is traditionally a touring bike generally known and used by old timers traveling cross country. It started when gang members from south central said to themselves, “Damn! We can fit amplifiers and woofers inside of those bags,” slamming the bikes to the ground. Adding candy paint jobs and big rims on to the bikes changed the whole attitude of these bikes and gave them a new direction. Take Jon Krashna for instance, an all around good guy and a consistent tattoo customer of mine, Jon is well known for having models around him and having this bike will only make things worse !! This is Jon’s second Harley. He got his feet wet with the heritage soft tail and stepped it up with this 07 street glide, wanting to stand out he hit me up for candy murals. His only direction for the murals was, “Let me know when your done.” I looked at the bike and saw that it was candy apple red so the only thing that came to my mind was a dirty slutty scum bag she devil from hell. After the front faring mural was complete we took it to big Gs auto body from the west side, cleared and polished the freshly cleared faring the bike was then off to Danny D in Baldwin park for the gold and silver leaf combo set. The paint was now finished, it was time to put in the Arnott air bag suspension to lower the bike, the 21 inch rim on the front keeps it young and the Reinhart pipes with race tuner and the alpine sound system lets all the amateurs know to stay out of the way. The seat was done with the baseball stitch and hand sown by top stitch in Montebello. My advice to you readers out there, refinance your house, or sell your kids, do something to get your self a street glide. Jon Krashna the owner of the sick bagger wants to say a big thanks to Gio, long hair Dave, and Estevan for helping to make this bike an LA classic.

Righteous Kill @ The Last Laugh by Hunter/SA Studios
SA Studios on Pacino and De Niro by Hunter/SA Studios on TheCitrusReport.comGetting Al Pacino and Robert Deniro together in a film is like getting Cartoon and Estevan together on a project: A guaranteed success story. This is the Righteous Kill poster story. After the first meeting with Overture Films we knew something great could come out of this project, and they seemed as excited about getting the SA Studios team involved in the film’s marketing and design as they did about its lead character’s involvement. After the business wrangling from our business team, Estevan had the “unfortunate job” (joking), of shooting Al and Bobby, as he likes to call them.
A year ago if you asked Estevan his ambitions within photography, this would have been top of the list. Cartoon and I went to Vegas to hold things down at the Magic clothing convention while Estevan, for the first time in 12 years, missed the show and stayed behind.
Estevan arrived on set and waited for his chance to shoot the guys. Two days went by as Estevan patiently waited for his moment. Our trip in Vegas was drawing to a close and the initial boastful remarks regarding Estevan’s absence. (“He is shooting a couple of actors,” Cartoon would say. “You know, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.”) By the end we were getting nervous as Estevan’s text messages were getting more and more frustrated about the shoot. Estevan patiently waited for the opportunity, and after another 8 hour day of waiting on set, Estevan went outside of the studio and started debating whether it would ever happen and should he stay or should he go? Then all of a sudden the fire door burst open and out walked Al and Bobby. “Right we are ready for the shot,” Bobby says. Estevan had 5 minutes to get the shot; his first choice of camera being the trust worthy Canon AE1 that froze in aura of the two actors, leaving Estevan in a predicament. He went for his backup camera, the Pentax 6*7 and fired the shutter 14 times before his time with the guys was over.
Below you can see the product of those 5 minutes of Estevan’s shooting, a logo created by Cartoon, and a project artistically put together by Patrick Martinez.

Estevan & Cartoon in the Source
Let’s Ride: Mr. Cartoon and Estevan Oriol
Just when you were starting to think that Mr. Cartoon was m.i.a., there he goes popping back on the scene again. Last we heard, the graph god was opening up a chain of retail shops throughout Cali with his SA Studios partner Estevan Oriol.
Called The Last Laugh, the stores sell everything from gothic tees to classic prints, designed and photographed by the two. Yet aside from the shops and the sick posters they designed for Righteous Kill–the first Bobby Deniro/Al Pacino flick since 1995’s Heat– Cartoon and Oriol are pairing up for their first 2008 exhibit at the Mesa Arts Center in Arizona.
Low and Slow will feature the works of several artists on Low Rider culture including photos, paintings, a panel discussion (featuring Cartoon and Oriol), a makeshift tattoo parlor and a low rider car show. The free show opens on September 12th, at 7pm and is open to the public.
Here is the direct link.
