Editorial note
- The concept "blocks (graffiti)" pertains to a specific style of graffiti writing, often associated with the "blockbuster style". This style is characterized by the use of large, block-like letters, typically filled in with a single, solid colour. The block style is designed for maximum visibility and readability, often used to cover large areas or to overwrite other graffitists' works. The simplicity and boldness of the block style make it a popular choice for large-scale graffiti pieces, particularly in urban environments where visibility is key. It's important to note that while the block style is a distinctive aspect of graffiti culture, it should not be interpreted within the framework of traditional art forms. Instead, it should be understood as a unique form of expression within the graffiti community.
