Writer's Block was a VICE column that zeroed in on graffiti legends, street bombers, and modern-day vandals with a mixture of stories, off-the-cuff interviews, and never-before-seen pictures.
From the first on-record interview with ATAK, to a travel diary exploring Asia’s most prominent graff hubs, Writer’s Block documented the spray paint zeitgeist on a global scale, and documented some of the most notorious and influential figures in the scene.
The column was spearheaded and edited by Sokol, but written and photographed by Ray Mock, founder of the graffiti-focused publishing house Carnage NYC. All photos featured below are courtesy of Ray Mock.
