G-Shock’s new collaboration with premier artist Mister Cartoon, the DW6900MRC-8 model, was unveiled last weekend at SA Studios in downtown LA to a crowd buzzing with anticipation.
“I chose to collaborate with G-Shock because I have seen the evolution and quality of the watch evolve into an iconic brand,” said Mister Cartoon. “Now I am excited to celebrate this relationship and launch this amazing collaboration piece to the LA market.”
Earlier this year G-Shock gave a preview of the watch by the world famous tattoo artist/car customizer/illustrator/designer at the Shock the World Tour 2009 event in NYC.
The watch was unveiled at the Juxtapoz Art and Culture Magazine 15 year anniversary event last Saturday. The event was like a who’s who of 100 notable contemporary artists, including Matthew Barney, Banksy, Ed Templeton, vCR Stecyk III, Shepard Fairey, Robert Williams, Todd Schorr, Estevan Oriol, Doze Green, Todd “Reas” James, Thomas Campbell, Tim Biskup, KR, Mister Cartoon, Big Daddy Roth, WK Interact, Clayton Brothers, Andrew Schoultz, James Jean, Ron English, Swoon, Craola, David Choe, Mike Giant, Paul Insect, Jeremy Fish, Alex Pardee, Saber, David Ellis, Boogie, D*Face, Cody Hudson, and Herbert Baglione.
In conjunction with the Juxtapoz Art and Culture event, an online charity auction and event, “The Big Payback,” took place, and it was hosted by Upper Playground. The event was a benefit for the non-profit Power House Project of Detroit.
