Grafiti with Dr. M image. I wonder, whatever, each six was hand drawn individually or just sprayed from the same mould? My guess, would be from the latter. It looks too alike to be drawn individually. I can’t imagine, why would someone draw the same expression, six times, side by side.

i’m not sure if its intended that way…but when i looked closely each faces(or at least some of the faces) appear different to me!

I think it is the same face, they probably used more or less paint to make them look different. I assume they were trying to make a statement (but I can’t figure out what).

This is stencil art. I see a lot of it around San Francisco these days. It seems to be more popular than just regular graffiti now. I wonder why they chose to paint it 6 times. It must have some meaning.

Interesting graffiti or as David called it “stencil art”. I like the repetition. More powerful than a single drawing!
