Backstory: Michael Jackson XScape Mural by Mr. Brainwash
“The subject of Mr. Brainwash comes up and John
(Branca) shares that as he drives to work everyday there is a liquor store he
passes. He must have driven by it literally 1,000s of times and never really
noticed anything special about it but this one day he sees a painting of
Marilyn Monroe in the window and thinks, “That is really different.”
Each day after he continues to notice that
painting… it seems to jump out at him. Then on a subsequent day he passes a
billboard on the same route and there is the most interesting painting which he
is very drawn to. Finally he stops at the liquor store to inquire who did the
painting… he researches the billboard for the same answer and learns the same
artist did them both… Mr. Brainwash.
They contact Mr. Brainwash to come in for a meeting asking him to bring samples of his work. He begins to tell Mr. Branca that he is so thrilled because Michael Jackson was one of his first clients. John is totally taken aback… he asks him, “What? What do you mean Michael Jackson was one of your first customers?”
Mr. Brainwash relays the story of Michael approaching him and buying many of his paintings. John shaking his head at what he has heard as he remembers and relays the story needed not to verbally complete the connection for me… as I sat there with ‘Michael chills’ all over my body. Clearly Michael was in charge of connecting Mr. Branca with Mr. Brainwash for the promo Xscape artwork… for me there are no coincidences. Once again Michael has reached out from the heavenly spheres to put his touch, his final nod, guidance on this… his own album.”

broken vinyl records.
