I've seen similar type of street art in other countries, usually created using stencil & spray paint. This in particular was found near some random wall near the town's park. Can anyone tell me more? I dont think he's a famous person, right? and that code? R2-D2? :D I've been curious since I first saw it last year..
ps. thanks Lisi and Anne, i do know what is R2D2.. :D (see earlier comments)

R2D2 is the robot in starwars...and that guy looks awfully familiar...I think he is a singer or something...i'm sure the other guys will know :)
I'm sure someone know the answer, but I don't. The face kinda looks like Duke Ellington.
Hi Kris, I don't know the face and it would look a bit eerie at night I think. but R2D2 is the robot in Star Wars, the short and smart one ;-)
juggerpix & louz : i checked the webpage and yeah, it does look like him. Although am not familiar with his music.. :)
anne and lisi : yup, i know R2D2..hehe :D
thank you all for stopping by :)
the artist certainly knew what colour to use. striking image!
though he does look like duke ellington, I have a feeling it may be martin luther king, jr. grafitti art tends to have a social message of somekind. the R2-D2 reference...hmmm...
I'm sure you're all right! A Famous musician is what I was thinking too. Kris I love your header at the top of the page.. just beautiful! How did you do it ?
I think Duke Ellington is a jazz guy - I got some of his music - pretty good stuff - I like this photo
reminded me of Martin Luther King, Jr., LOL.. don't know about the initials there, though.. ;p
So it seems to be Duke Ellington...
I have no idea what the letters refer to.
That does look like Ellington. Will ask around here. I saw similar graffiti in FL while visiting family.
R2D2 is cute. I love him.
Nice colour contrast
My vote is for Duke Ellington. Maybe the RD2 is the "signature" of the (very talented) artist? Cool blue.
Hi everybody !
My opinion is that Mister Count Basie was honoured here , by a tiny white can of steel with painting tools on :-)
I'll post a special interlude for you, Kris, just after that second Lion
- PS : so funny those word verification processes : right now i have, if pronounced : Cutee, oh, jizem.
chris : thank you thank you soo much for the collage! i can rest my curiousity :)
maiylah : martin is chubbier ..hahah :D
tanty : know who you're talking about . does resemble him :)
Luggi : interesting info , thanks:)
thank you all :)
I bet Luggi is right (Django). But my first thought was Martin Luther King Jr. Whoever, it's rather nice.
Hehehe...its always nice when you get those images that has everyone guessing. No ideas at all.
Lovely capture.
