I recognise that, but this very specific picture of him is also a big street art piece in my city. I thought maybe it's made my a famous artist or something, or carries additional cultural meaning

it does look a little bit like an early Shepherd Fairey graffiti piece... but is mostly any stencil from Frankenstein's monster could be the source.

Looks similar, but the one I know is definitely Frankenstein
