When I spied this item on a passerby while waiting (and waiting) for the B62 bus this afternoon I did a double-take. I have seen a lot of unusual things during my peregrinations in north Brooklyn— but R2D2 as the Virgin of Guadalupe? Well, this was a first. Once I collected my thoughts I asked the gentleman whose body this masterpiece graces as to what his motivations were. His answer was as follows:
I decided I didn’t have any tattoos that were nerdy enough.
Mission accomplished.

I have featured this window (which can be found on South 1st Street between Havemeyer Street and Driggs Avenue) on a number of occasions. While the arrangement changes from time to time I can personally attest that the subject matter remains the same: dolls, horror movie characters and acts of mutilation. Note the solitary ghost at the bottom right-hand corner. A nod to All Hallow’s Eve, perhaps? Only the mind behind this masterpiece knows for certain.
In any case I have to confess I am pretty fond of this new addition!
