Via Tyler Green's artblog, MAN, comes a little more information, if not an explanation for these posters tacked up along Main St. The NY Observer/Transom article by Michael Grynbaum chronicles some background information......
The article has been shuffled into the NYO Archive, and I could not locate it. Basically, a collection of these, or similar posters are pasted around in Chelsea as well, and several folks are interviewed giving varied responses regarding the fellow in question in the posters, but there is no clear idea as to who is responsible for them.
Perhaps a novel form of self promotion?
