Arturo x Mr. Cartoon

Our boy Arturo has quickly become one of the finest barbers in the Oak Cliff area here in Dallas, TX. On Mr. Cartoon's recent visit, he stopped through Studio 410 in the Bishop Arts neighborhood. Arturo hooked him up with a fresh clean cut. If you need a fresh cut, make your appointment at Studio 410, www.artonhair.com. Big thanks for Mr. Cartoon, one of the coolest artist we have ever met.

Mr. Cartoon

Yesterday we had the honor of meeting Mr. Cartoon. He is a well known artist and a hero to us. He is a man of many talents from tattoos, custom cars, graffiti, painting, etc. He has been very successful throughout his career and has spread his art all over the world. We invited him to come paint one of our walls and he gladly agreed. It was amazing watching a true master at work. Mr. Cartoon was a very smart and respectful guy and we were honored to have met him.

Cheech Marin

For those of you that don't know, Cheech Marin of Cheech and Chong is a huge art collector. Cheech has the largest private collection of Chicano Art in America. One of his goals is to bring the Chicano Art movement and his collection to the masses and so far it has worked. This past week, he took time out his busy touring schedule to come meet with members of the Sour Grapes in search of new work for his collection. Cheech was a very intelligent and funny man and treated us with much respect. It was an honor to visit with him at HCG Gallery and he was very pleased with our work. Look out for his touring art exhibitions in the future, as they will feature works by the Sour Grapes.
