I dunno if you guys would enjoy this, but there's a place up here in Hyde Park, Orly's Cafe. I was tempted to take a picture for your amusement, but alas, my camera was not with me.

Considering I notice it's black instead of a white old, I might as well ask and feel stupid...
Was it a drawing? or blown up in a program with inversed B/W colors? It almost looks like a pencil sketch.. but maybe thats just me.

If he drew that, he's my new hero.

(For those of you keeping track, yes, I did have an old hero: Yume_Taira, for the 'Let the Sunshine' Incident. But don't worry - old heroes never die...)

However, the grain of the picture makes it look like it was printed out low-res dot-matrix style. Nothing I can put my finger on, just a "feel" I get.

Either way, a pretty impressive day's work.

Wow, you're blowing that SO out of proportion.

Almost right on the dot

unfortunately I did not draw that (I am not a very good artist) but I rendered it to be comprised of dots that are a maximum of 7mm

it gives the old school feel to it, each dot is a different radius giving the illusion of greys. I'll take a closer pic to show it more clearly

it's a really cool effect IMO... oh and yes, I know it's supposed to be white, but I thought it'd come out less clear.
