Danny Trejo and Mister Cartoon Lowriding in the Streets of LA

Mar 19, 2014


YES!!!! Just the type of video I've been wanting to see. Although this video is four years old, it still gives a teaser behind the Lowriding Culture. I have a weird facination with lowriders, simply because it's virtually impossible to throw one together. It takes an incredible amount of time to customize one and they also have a great amount of detail to them.

Everything about this collage says LA, so I definitely know that Estevan Oriol shot it.
The world famous tattoo artist, Mister Cartoon teamed up with Danny Trejo, a world renown actor. The two have a great deal in common- aside from being from Los Angeles and having distinctive tattoos, they have a deep love for lowriders. Shot by Estevan Oriol, Danny Trejo Lowriding with Mister Cartoon is a great lifestyle video to give you a taste behind the art of Lowriding. And if you already saw it... watch it again.

P.S. I really want to drive one. Of course I want to ride in a lowrider, but driving one and operating the hydraulics at the same time would be interesting. And I mean a real lowrider, one from the late 50s- early 60s.

Recapping the Dub Magazine Project: Season 2, Episode 4

Nov 20, 2012




I do like how they’ve switched up Tyga’s location. Instead of having him standing along side of a car like they did with the Game, they at least had him in the driver’s seat of a Bentley. Could very well be the Bentley that West Coast Customs did for him. But sadly, this is the last week for Tyga being the host…

First segment belonged to DJ Afro Jack as he leaves out of a hotel, hops into a Ferrari 458 Italia, driving around a familiar city… Las Vegas. As cute as he is, he didn’t talk about cars, so on to the next segment.

Travis Pastramo was filmed behind the scenes at a Dub Magazine Shoot. Aside from there, he takes you on a super behind the scenes look inside the Nascar world- from the building of cars, on the track, etc. He drives one expensive Toyota Camry… then again, I’m definitely positive that it’s nothing like the one my dad drives.

Dub Garage teamed up with Philly’s Killer Kreations as they take us into the creation of the bike for everyone’s favorite DJ- Pauly D. The first bike  that they did for him was for show, but they’re really redoing the bike for Pauly… who rides bikes just as much as he drives. KK cramed it into 4 days, but will they finish??? And most importantly, will they show Pauly D??? Side note: I loved how Myles Kovacs threw most customization shops under the bus by saying “Dub Garage does believe in collaborating with other shops”

Best Segment: Mister Cartoon started out as a graffiti artist and it inspires everything that he does. Driving around in a 1948 Chevy Fleetwood (Rendered priceless), he takes Dub into his studio—in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. There is where he did his photoshoot with Estevan Oriol… the great, as well as showing off the 1963 Milk Truck (again, rendered priceless). The number one thing I do respect about Mister Cartoon is that with his car customizations to his tattoos to his graffiti, it’s that it’s all done by freehand. No tracing, no stenciling, no Photoshop, no Abobe Illustrator. He didn’t take the easy way out, he just followed the advice that is just as priceless as his vehicles… Practice makes perfect. But I often wonder, what is the newest vehicle that Mister Cartoon own?

The shop segment went to Auto Extremes in Conyers, GA. The one stop custom shop that they do everything… even oil changes. Co owned by T-Pain, they discussed one of their famous projects, the joker mobile- which was a 72 Impala with a big block engine, took about a year to do since T-Pain is so fickle and couldn’t come up with the customizations that he wanted done.

It’s GUCCI!!! Time out—Gucci was in a movie? Oh lawd… I was honestly surprised to see Gucci was really pushing that Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8. The reason why because his past cars were, how should I say it? To quote him, “All my cars are immigrants” meaning all his cars were foreign ones. So to see him driving something American was a change, but then again, he was driving a Hummer when he pushed that woman out of it while it was moving… 

Here’s the episode and we’ll see how Machine Gun Kelly does next week...

Snoop Dogg teams up with Mister Cartoon's Sanctiond

Nov 13, 2012


At SEMA, Mister Cartoon announced a new partnership with Snoop Dogg (or Snoop Lion) as business partner and ambassador for Sanctiond Automotive Brand. By bring in Snoop, it allows Sanctiond to expand their lineup by adding an exclusive line of Sanctiond by Snoop Dogg products consisting of car wash, waxes, polishes, spray detailers and more. The line will launch initially as a limited edition. Snoop is working closely with the Sanctiond team of specialists to hand-craft the formula down to the smell, color, ingredients and branding.



Atticus Firey, Sanctiond Co-Founder and CEO, said, "This is not a traditional endorsement deal for Snoop Dogg. In addition to being our business partner, he will provide global endorsement services, marketing support and strategic consulting for the brand. Snoop Dogg's global recognition, trendsetting status and super cool persona enhance our ability to bring new consumers and revived energy into this category."Basically Snoop is gonna help people care about their cars more. 




You gotta love it... But seriously, Sanctiond had a great presence at SEMA. Most of the customized cars there had the Sanctiond decal on it, even at the booths of various aftermarket parts. 

Bernie's Car Show Coverage: 2012 SEMA Show Day 2

Nov 12, 2012



Day 2 of SEMA was a little different. I used this day to network, so basically I was doing more talking than photographing. But of course, I did get some shots and here they are...








Love the detail in this Chrysler 300 conversion, but I'm sick of Camaros. Even if it only has the front end of one.







Forgiato  is not just a aftermarket wheel company, it is now a lifestyle company



Best model there...

Love the drawing, I wish I could draw like that-- and I went to an Art school.

I did sign the wall...

I love the tribute to Carroll Shelby...

... but not as much as I love this Ford Shelby

Okay, I LOVED this car. Although it's not straight guy friendly (aka most of SEMA), I still loved it. I love swarovski crystals, and with that accent, I HAD to stop and stare and get photos. But I wouldn't have crystalized it in some places where they did like the windshield wipers.... and I love the fur, but it wouldn't be practical in Atlanta.



West Coast Customs guys!!!

Still love his tire shine...



Liking this Forgiato edition Ford Explorer...
