----------
This mug, made with porcelain from Limoges, represents a painting of one of the most famous underground artist of the 1980s in New York. The patterns illustrated on the plate - graffiti, flames, teeth, conceptual words, creatures, as well as voodoo and superheroes from vintage comics - are typical of the wild and original universe of the artist.
