NOTORIOUS is based on the 3rd time I painted the HEART, obviously I had stumbled upon the design, then added it to the camera piece... but then I was painting this NOTORIOUS BIG mural with the famous line 'SPREAD LOVE IT'S THE BROOKLYN WAY' ... and I very deliberately added the HEART design.
It still didn’t have a name, but it was quickly becoming an element in my repertoire that I enjoyed… and how perfect for this BIGGIE mural, in Brooklyn on Nov 29, 2017.
So OHE.3 is a tribute to the KING - NOTORIOUS BIG! - inspired by the famous photo shoot titled KING OF NY that was taken days before his death.
