La Originals

In this documentary, it’s demonstrates the artist movement that was presented by Estevan Oriol and Mister Cartoon. As a Chicano myself, I’ve always been fascinated with the street culture that is presented all throughout in LA. With this stigma that LA is mostly known for violence, poverty, and gangs, these two really showcased LA as a culture. It surprised me to see that different places around the world wanted to practice this Chicano culture. Both coming from nothing made it happen with their tremendous talent and showed the world that anything can be viewed as art. The unique form of tattoos that Cartoon did was very special and it really showed through the amount of people that specifically wanted a tattoo by him. Overall, they both made a significant impact to the Chicano culture of LA and showed the world what this city is all about.
