How are they satanic? It's just repeating the phrase below it which comes from an author Wong was friends with.Was feeling the attorney street tee until I looked up the meaning behind his artwork.
I'm not down with the satanic sign language. I'm not trying to slap jesus in the face.
To clarify, that is the last line of the poem at the top of the piece.It says: "Slapped Jesus in the face and ran Satan out of town."
I consider that satanic, but that's just my opinion.
I hope you know Martin was gay, hence he drew two guys kissingSupreme always uses some questionable art on their stuff. I liked the minimalistic look of the buildings on ‘big heat’ but the idk bout the male firefighters making out. Not sure what/ if I’ll grab somethin this wk.
They already dropped most of the lookbook accessories the 1st half of the season. Wonder if there will be some “unseen” items poppin up, I think there’s only the dumbbell & chair left.

Attorney Street commemorates the Lower East Side neighborhood where Wong lived. Here the artist depicts a handball court that had recently been tagged with graffiti. At the top is a poem by the Puerto Rican author Miguel Piñero, who boasts about his adventures in crime, addiction, poverty, and violence. The poem’s sudden bursts of speech form a staccato rhythm that culminates with the outrageous declaration, "Slapped Jesus in the face and ran Satan out of town." Finger-signs appear throughout the work, repeating the inscriptions around them. Between the stylized graffiti, the written poem, and the manual alphabet, Wong crams together multiple forms of communication, all of them rife with coded messages. Ultimately, the painting conveys the noise, hyperactive energy, and multilingual jumble of New York City.
