Dodgers return to World Sequence. COVID masks are out. Mister Cartoon clown masks are in

The art work of Mister Cartoon could be seen just about in every single place — tattooed on celebrities, exhibited in artwork galleries, airbrushed on vehicles, painted on public partitions and printed on crew jerseys.

Nonetheless, the 60-year-old San Pedro native, whose actual identify is Mark Machado, didn’t count on to see his work masking the faces of some Dodgers gamers as they celebrated the crew’s World Sequence berth within the clubhouse Sunday night time.

The Chicano artist most likely wasn’t the one one who thought he was seeing issues. Hundreds of thousands of viewers doubtless weren’t anticipating to see males in Dodgers-themed clown masks collaborating within the wild, champagne- and beer-soaked festivities following the crew’s Nationwide League Championship Sequence-clinching 10-5 win over the New York Mets.

However that’s how some gamers — together with reduction pitchers Anthony Banda, Alex Vesia and Brusdar Graterol — selected to mark the event. And Cartoon couldn’t be extra thrilled, following the launch of his MLB clown masks assortment earlier this month.

“A few of the fellas in the bullpen reached out during the series,” Cartoon stated. “They had seen the mask on social media and loved it, so my team sent a bunch over. I had no idea they would end up part of the celebration!”

Promoting for $95 every, the masks include a detachable strap for carrying and a wall mount for displaying. They’re formally licensed by Main League Baseball and can be found that includes the brand and colours for 21 of the league’s 30 groups, together with a pinstripe sample for the Dodgers’ World Sequence opponent, the New York Yankees.

The general look is signature Mister Cartoon.

“The design is inspired by the icon I put in almost all my art, ‘the Clown,’ which I have been drawing since [I was] a kid,” Cartoon stated. “Really inspired by many aspects of my life and culture, from the Soul music era of the ’60s, when ‘The Tears of a Clown’ aired on the radio and classic Chevrolet Impalas were brand new. I wanted to create a piece of art you can wear, hang and collect.”

The primary time many individuals noticed Cartoon’s masks design was after Recreation 6 of the NLCS, as Dodgers supervisor Dave Roberts was addressing his crew within the clubhouse. Standing among the many gamers — and in clear view of the Fox Sports activities cameras — was a shirtless, closely tattooed clown, holding a champagne bottle in every hand.

That turned out to be Banda, who gave up one run and one hit, struck out two and walked one throughout 1 1/3 innings in the course of the Dodgers’ 10-5 win. Requested if he had inked any of Banda’s tattoos, Cartoon responded: “I did not. He has clean work, but he needs to save some space for me.”

The Dodgers are again in the World Sequence for the primary time since successful it in the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season. As an alternative of the protecting masks that have been ubiquitous throughout that interval, maybe clown masks would be the accent of alternative this time round.

Cartoon stated the publicity has positively been good for enterprise.

“It’s been wild since last night, with overwhelming support,” he stated. “People have been ordering and collecting.”

However, Cartoon added, it means far more than {dollars} and cents to him.

“I have been a Dodger fan my whole life,” he stated. “This project was years in the making to get it to this point. And for it to launch right as the Dodgers make it into the World Series and have the players that fight so hard every day for the sport and the fans make it a part of the celebration, it’s a real honor, an amazing feeling for me, the art, the culture and my family.”
