Editorial note

  • The term 'drips' within the context of graffiti refers to both a technique employed by graffitists and the resultant visual effect within the graffiti itself. It is not merely a by-product of the spray can medium, but a deliberate stylistic choice that contributes to the overall aesthetic and thematic resonance of the graffiti. Drips are characterised by their distinct style, often manifesting as elongated, fluid lines that descend from the primary forms of graffiti. They can be seen as a reductive technique, simplifying the overall design and drawing attention to the raw, unrefined nature of the medium. This technique is often utilised to evoke a sense of movement, dynamism, and spontaneity within the graffiti.
