Gordon Willis, the Man Who Plays Peekaboo
Sunday Happenings
The Wooster Collective street art blog sheds some light on the curious case of Peek-a-Boo Jesus, a paste-up on a New Bedford wall that has the Christian faithful thronging to worship at its feet. It's the work of New Bedford street artist Maki105, also known as Mark Carvahlo, whose work also includes departing sailors and wrestling giants.
The Standard Times reports that at least 35 people made the pilgrimage to Peek-a-Boo Jesus over the course of a single Wednesday hour—a good draw for a single piece of street art. Perhaps it would ruin the aura of the work if the pilgrims knew that they could buy prints of the Jesus for $75 a pop.

eh. it's decontextualized. it could go either way.
(but you're right.)
