Mark MauerBrand new MBW stuff up in remembrance of the 40th anniversary of MLK's assassination.* Strong thanks to the artist for marking the day. And of course to the memory of Martin Luther King himself.
These are in Echo Park on Sunset, but I'm guessing they are all over the place.

NOTE: These photos were completely painted over at some point Saturday, the day after the photos were taken. More here.
