This is a stencil graffiti by the Berlin graffiti artist who goes by the name Alias.

Alias may be working under an alias, but the work is pretty damn famous. This photo was taken in Kreuzberg just a few days ago. But the piece has been up on that wall for years! Now that’s a sign of respect – that no one has painted over Alias’s very elegant, mysterious, slightly menacing portrait.  Here’s another image on the same apartment building – just a different wall – with a little bit of urban street scenery to place the graffiti. The blue wall gives the stencil a classy presentation.
