Editorial note

  • "Rolling up" in the context of graffiti refers to a technique used to create large-scale works or cover large areas quickly. This technique involves the use of a paint roller, which allows the graffitist to apply paint to a surface in broad strokes. The "rolling up" technique is particularly useful for reaching higher places or for creating the background or base layer of a larger work. The resulting graffiti, often referred to as a "roll up," is characterized by its large size and the distinctive texture of the paint application. This technique is often used in combination with other graffiti techniques to create complex and layered works.
