Editorial note

  • "Toys" is a term used within the graffiti community to refer to beginners or novices in the creation of graffiti. The term is often used in a derogatory manner, indicating a lack of skill, originality, or respect for the established norms and codes of the graffiti community. A graffitist labelled as a "toy" is typically seen as lacking the technical ability to execute a well-crafted graffito, or as failing to understand and adhere to the unwritten rules and etiquette of the graffiti world. This might include, for example, tagging over another graffitist's work without permission, or attempting to create complex pieces before mastering the basics of graffiti writing.
