Description: Aerosol mural on an exterior cinder block wall appears to be promotion for a hip-hop consortium. Sprites or pixies with pointed ears on a mushroom overlook a young woman sleeping in a wooded area with fireflies flying about. A silhouetted figure stands behind a row of trees. A toolbar, like those used in image-editing software, is in the upper portion of the mural. Text reads, "Round Table MC's Masters of De Universe Icons Tony Da Skitzo Black Mikey ATT LPSU". On the right side of the mural, a caterpillar with the letters "PRES" munches a leaf. There is a second piece in the upper right corner, but which is indecipherable.
