Art Block is a DSTL Arts program that produces a monthly podcast and annual zine by the same name. The Art Block Zine is put together by an editorial board that meets on a weekly basis and reviews all submissions for content, theme, and artistic quality. The work our editorial board seeks to publish should activate our five senses while inspiring us with a sense of vulnerability: a sense of realness. We hope to connect with well-developed stories and artwork.

This volume's theme is "Good/Evil." We have collected here visual art, stories, poetry, and photography that seek to interpret the nuance of these abstract concepts: "Good" and "Evil". In some cases, the definition is obvious. In others, it's not. All that remains is a mess of inks.

All proceeds from the sale of this zine benefit DSTL Arts and our free programs for emerging artists from underserved communities in Los Angeles.
