Editorial note

  • "Drips" in the context of graffiti can also indicate a beginner or less experienced graffitist, also referred to as a "toy" in the graffiti community. These unintentional drips typically result from a lack of control over the spray can, which can lead to an excess of paint being applied to the surface. This excess paint then drips down the surface, creating streaks that can disrupt the intended design of the graffito. While some experienced graffitists may intentionally incorporate drips into their work as a stylistic choice, unintentional drips are generally seen as a sign of inexperience. They can detract from the overall appearance of the graffito, making it look messy or poorly executed. Therefore, gaining control over the spray can to prevent unintentional drips is often one of the first skills a new graffitist must master.
