From director Roger Gastman—a producer of the Academy Award-nominated documentary Exit Through the Gift Shop—comes Wall Writers, a documentary on graffiti in its innocence.
Through unprecedented access to TAKI 183, CORNBREAD, and a host of other legendary writers, Wall Writers tells the story of a time when underprivileged city kids refused to keep lurking in the shadows, when the streets were so wild that fame and infamy became indistinct, when art became a democracy and self-promotion became an art.
And the narration is done by John Waters!

I was just passed this video from the creation of the Mural Outside of MOCA… ..This wall was very cool, because as well as painting with some incredibly talented new friends CERN and SANO, My brothers ABEL and PUSH, my old friend LOMIT, I also painted for the first time with two artists who have mesmerized me for years, LEE and FUTURA.
The mural on the outside of MOCA was really Lee Quinones’ project. I was just proud to be a part of it. As mentioned above, I’m a huge fan of Lee. I grew up looking at his early stuff. LEE, FUTURA, LOMIT, CERN, SANO, ABEL and myself worked on it based on Lee’s overall concept. The Native American girl wearing the headdress with feathers floating across the mural represents birds of a feather flocking together, like graffiti artists have done for years. The Constitution represents us as graffiti artists, solidifying our art as a unified movement. The locomotive train represents our movement that can’t be stopped; if you look close it has a coal car filled with cans instead of coal, this is the fuel that powers the train. It also has an arrow in the train. This is the criticism and turmoil we as graffiti artists deal with daily, and the final “what you write” is how Graffiti artists acknowledge other writers. Here it acts as a signature on our declaration of independence. We are saying, “Hey, we are here! Graffiti art is a legitimate art form, like it or not! It’s here; we’re here!”
