The Netflix documentary “LA Originals” shines a light on the often overlooked but highly influential partnership between hip-hop photographer Estevan Oriol and tattoo artist Mark Machado, also known as Mr. Cartoon. Directed by Oriol himself, “LA Originals” uses archival footage and gritty, handheld camera work to show how the friends brought Chicano art to the mainstream.
