EO on The Citrus Report

A quick 11 question interview on TheCitrusReport.com

Estevan Oriol not only opened a new store in Downtown Los Angeles this year, The Last Laugh, right next door to Upper Playground LA, but he has continued to develop his namesake line for UP as well as continue to take some of the most striking, if not famous, street and commercial photographs today. We ask him 11 questions, he answers 10, and we are on our way.

1) Who was nicer, Pacino or de Niro?

They were both cool but very different.

2) In South Africa, you learned what?

We got it good in the US.

3) The best thing you did in 2008 was?

Got married, honeymoon, and relax.

4) How many days a week do you shoot photos?

I try to shoot something every single day.

5) Do you have tattoos from other artists besides Cartoon?

6) The Last Laugh store is . . . .?

New and fresh and on Los Angeles and 6th.

7) Black and white or color photography?

Black and white.

8) Lakers or Clippers, Dodgers or Angels?

Dodgers.

9) Los Angeles is . . .

My favorite city.

10) Best place to eat at 4AM in Southern California?

In my bed dreaming.

11) If you had to watch Scarface or Goodfellas, you would pick?

Goodfellas.

Righteous Kill @ The Last Laugh by Hunter/SA Studios

SA Studios on Pacino and De Niro by Hunter/SA Studios on TheCitrusReport.com

Getting 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.

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.
