TEMPE, Ariz. – March 29, 2012 - Rockford Fosgate, the industry leader in high-performance car audio systems, is proud to announce its distribution partnership with Sanctiond™, a signature brand of premium car care products designed by Mister Cartoon to satisfy the unmet needs of those who share his lifestyle and passion for music, sports, fashion, and cars. Sanctiond™ will be distributed through authorized aftermarket Rockford Fosgate dealers.

As an artist, Mister Cartoon has created iconic album covers, murals, logos, shoes, and tattoos. Stars such as Eminem, Amare Stoudemire, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Beyonce, and Carlos Boozer proudly wear Mister Cartoon’s work on their skin. Mister Cartoon’s talent and name are constantly in demand among brands such as Nike, Diesel, G-Shock, Stussy, Metro PCS, and Microsoft, who seek his expertise when developing culturally relevant and influential products.

“Music is as important to a car as its paint,” stated Cartoon. “My art, tattoos, and the way I design cars are all inspired by music. It’s important to me that Sanctiond partners with companies that share our lifestyle and recognize the connection between technology and art.”

Mister Cartoon Sanctiond™ is a growing collection of 15 products, including car wash, waxes, polishes, spray detailers, interior cleaners and conditioners, and a trio of innovative tire shines. Developed to exceed the stringent expectations of automotive painters and collectors, each product is a work of art in its own right, merging hand drawn package design with cutting edge product formulation.

“The word ‘fanatic’ has been used to describe the Rockford Fosgate car audio enthusiast for decades,” explained Bill Jackson, Rockford Corporation’s president and CEO. “‘Fanatic‘ could also easily be used for those who seek Mister Cartoon’s vision, whether it is on a mural, a product, or on their skin. How their car looks and how it sounds go hand-in-hand for many who have these fanatic lifestyles, and that’s what makes our partnership with Mister Cartoon and the Sanctiond™ brand a perfect fit.”

Sanctioned Automotive Group’s CEO, Atticus Firey, added, “Rockford Fosgate’s premium brand positioning aligns well with Sanctiond™. Rockford’s distribution dominance allows their fanatics access to the best products available for their customized rides, through a channel that is currently neglected by other brands.
