This series of realistic graffiti paintings is shrouded in mystery. The photographer who captured the grey scale art chose not to reveal the location or artist behind the photo realist works of street art.
It would be easy for someone to tag over the spray painted portraits or for someone to remove it because of anti-graffiti laws, so the mystery of the location and history of these pieces remains.
Take a look at the gallery above to see if you can recognize some of the famous faces painted on the walls.
