I’ve always wanted to do a remake of a couple of famous Biggie shots. Well, I finally went the distance and got’er done. I picked up this vintage Coogi sweater @ F as in Frank on Main street. They were kind enough to dig out their sweater stock from the back and for that i’m VERY GRATEFUL! Shout outs to their fantastic staff! Another big part of doing this shot was choosing a photographer who I could see eye to eye with. I’ve been eager to work with him for some time now and this was the perfect project. He goes by the name of Elie ‘Fisheye’ Garcia and you can see more of his work @ http://throughfishseyes.tumblr.com/. He is one talented dude, so be on the lookout!
