As the crowd continued to grow, individuals were seen scaling the sides of the studio in an effort to photograph the well-known graffiti and spectacular LA views that the rooftop offers.

Some were even given a special viewing of Mister Cartoon’s tattoo studio “Skid Row Tattoos”, which is also located within the building. The famous tattoo parlor that has seen the likes of Snoop Dog, Eminem, and Travis Barker showcased a body of black and white drawings by Mister Cartoon as well as airbrushed canvases mid-progress. Artistic clown references could be observed throughout the entire space; Mister Cartoon explained the meaning behind it all saying “I grew up with ‘Tears of a Clown’. Everyone called each other fool…goes back to the sixties (when) every artist drew them…I just kept drawing them.”
