Brand 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.

And here are a couple more huge ones by MBW, on LaBrea.

* NOTE: Due in part to the political speeches John McCain was making on April 4th to explain his position on voting against MLK Day, I mistakenly - ridiculously - posted earlier that April 4th was Martin Luther King Day. Of course, it is not. My apologies.
