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.

Taken today on Olive Street. Closing on a (somewhat) related note, the folks at St. Nick’s Alliance, among others, have something to say tomorrow to our fair Mayor (per an anonymous tipster):
This coming Wednesday December 21st at 10:30 am GREC will deliver over 2000 letters written by community residents asking Mayor Bloomberg and HPD to “de designate” TNS/Great American as the developer of the Greenpoint Hospital site. The demands follow workers allegations that the private builder has pocketed wages and cheated laborer and working people at a City affordable housing development project in the Bronx…
I along with GREC members, will be accompanied by community supporters and the Grinch to make sure the City selects the most qualified developer in a even handed process.
Time: 10:30 am
Location: Outside HPD Headquarters, 100 Gold Street
