Disneyfied Big Oil Hyenas in E. Hollywood

This has to be the most directly political wall mural I've seen. Near the intersection of Heliotrope and Melrose on the wall of a laundry, is this excellent send-up of the major oil companies and Disney to boot.

Up until recently this wall had a kind of outer space feel to it and, and was mostly made up of MSK tags. I have pictures of it and will post those later this week (Done: here they are), but I'm definitely digging this new version more.

All photos by Mark Mauer. More after the jump.

This is actually on the North side of Melrose, a little East of the 101 ramp. The cross street it's near is Heliotrope.
