Woah, this portrait is hand drawn using only DOTS (stippling is the technique and patience is the name of the game) but there is more to this story, and it's kinda awesomely weird so let me start from the beginning.
Benjaman Kyle is the pseudonym adopted by a man who has dissociative amnesia. He was discovered unconscious on August 31, 2004, and is believed to be about 64 years old. He is the only American citizen officially listed as missing despite his whereabouts being known.
Miguel Endara felt instantly moved to help Benjaman after viewing Finding Benjaman (a short documentary about this odd tale). He created this portrait in hope of spreading awareness and to help raise money through the sale of prints to help get Benjaman a new social security number.
WEIRD FACT: Initially, he was known as BK because he was discovered on the premises of a Burger King. Since then, he has chosen to live under the name Benjaman Kyle and insists that his real first name is Benjaman
