block letter

Down the street from ICE headquarters on the south Portland waterfront, a rainbow of costumes hung on a makeshift rack, a vertical banner with “FREE” in block letters attached.

On it, in large block letters, was printed six words and a challenge from their interim coach: “ARE YOU A ONE-HIT WONDER?”

Pointing to glittery gold block letters that spelled MAGA, he said he wanted to swap the first A for a U, so that the acronym stood for “the most useless governor in America, Gavin Newsom.”

Clicking it takes you to a page of Ciattarelli standing proudly with his hands on his hips and the phrase “Blacks Back Jack” in big block letters.

The artist’s last name is written in block letters along one edge, but there’s some confusion over whether the artist or the school added it later as an identifier.
