UPDATE: The artist is Hugh Leeman, and he'll be showing his work at White Walls on August 8th.

We've seen this floating head, which is likely a portrait of Lee Scratch Perry (thanks, Manys!), in a couple of places lately. The first time it was in an abandoned storefront in the Nob Hill area, and it was so well-placed, we thought it was supposed to be there. Then we saw it again last night on Market near Van Ness and realized it was a theme of some sort.

Plug1 captured another portrait by the same artist at Market and 2nd Street. More shots from other folks around town in the comments!

Anyone know the creator or the story behind this beautifully-rendered floating head?
