ive been collecting this specific brand of evil, satanic meme-adjacent images with no clear punchline since early 2019 in a folder on my laptop me and my close friends refer to as “the evil memes folder”. here are some of my favorites enjoy

Brooklyn Gang Series - 1959
Bruce Davidson, the iconic photographer known for his pictures of the New York City subway, The Dwarf, East 100th Street, and the Brooklyn Gang, also photographed the street gang called the Jokers, of which Bengie was the leader (last photo). video link
Davidson is mainly interested in documenting the struggles and triumphs of people as they go through their lives - the American Dream laid bare.
“My pictures are not escapes from reality, but a contemplation of reality, so that I can experience life in a deeper way.”
“If I am looking for a story at all, it is in my relationship to the subject - the story that tells me, rather than that I tell. ” ©bruce davidson.all rights reserved /  “Bobby’s Book,” published by Seven Stories Press.

So, in 2004 four artists exchanged a sketchbook and followed one another’s lead with a weekly illustration! It lasted 36 weeks and the sketchbook traveled 60,000 miles and crossed the Atlantic several times!

You can see how much art they did that the spine broke and they patched it with duct tape.
