Lion's Den Denim Trucker Jacket | Lady Pink/Supreme Hooded Sweatshirt

A collaboration with Lee Quiñones.
The lion comes from The Lion’s Den, which he painted in 1982 across a whole handball court at Junior High School 56 on the Lower East Side.
He has described the lion as a protective mascot, amid the urban decay and hardship around him.

Lee was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1960 and grew up on the Lower East Side.
Signing LEE, he painted more than 100 whole subway cars, and in 1978 his first handball court mural, Howard the Duck.
In 1979 he showed with Fab 5 Freddy at Galleria La Medusa in Rome, which the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston calls the first post-graffiti exhibition abroad.

He played the graffiti writer Zoro in Charlie Ahearn’s film Wild Style (1983).

A collaboration with Lady Pink.
The print is her painting 1969 Super Sport Camaro, made in 1984 on a canvas from Jenny Holzer, in whose studio she had worked.
The women in it are based on what she saw on the streets outside the studio, on the Lower East Side before it was gentrified.

Lady Pink was born in Ecuador in 1964 and grew up in Queens.
She began writing graffiti in 1979 and painted subway trains until 1985, one of the first women to do so.
Her canvases are now in the collections of the Whitney Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

In Wild Style (1983) she played Rose, a graffiti writer, opposite Lee Quiñones’ Zoro.
