The two artists hit the corner over the weekend, says Eyeone on the artists' website:

Cache and I painted this mural in Echo Park over the weekend as a tribute to the people partucipating in the Occupy L.A. actions. The sun was setting when I took these flicks, but you get the point.

We're going to see what other original artwork the protests provoke in the area that was once known as "Red Hill."

Please keep an eye out and tell us if you see anything.
