This pixelated mural is located on the 2nd floor wall of an apartment building on Prince Street near Bowery in Nolita. I don't know who the image is (Bernie Madoff?) but it is definitely an interesting piece artwork.So where is the most interesting place you have seen a mural or artwork?

Did you try walking far away from it? An image like that should come into focus from a distance.
My first thought was Chairman Mao.
I took this shot too on my visit to your city. I thought he's Kim Jong Il - the Korean somebody somebody!
Yep. Get back away and it will become clear. NCR, where I once worked, used the pixel technique on photos so that people up close were puzzled and those far away knew right off what it was.
I think graffiti or outdoor mural art is quite amazing, it gives creative people a place to express themselves and reach a captive audience, but perhaps that audience doesn't always appreciate the art. I rather like the chap in the pinstiped suit in your last post.
Looks a bit Mao-ish to moi
fantastic. How did you find this one ming? And how did I miss it! My bet is that this is an artist of some sort.
That looks ... harder than painting a straight forward painting-mural? I thought of Mao fist, too.
I still love the mural on Houston at Bowery.
Chairman Maodoff?
Ahh ... I saw one from the train yesterday on the front of a very old funeary station. Will try to capture over the weekend.
Well I have no clue. I've loved all the other guys' guesses however.
How would I know from down here Ming???? DUH! I do know that I love all the wonderful things you find for us from your city. Every day is a new experience!

Odd. It looks a bit like Danny DeVito with a longish toupee.
I think it's Ming the Merciless!
He is Kenichi Takemura, a Japanese commentator.
I was thinking the same thing as Lincoln, if you get far away enough it'll become clear!
