Definition
In graffiti culture, a quickly executed piece typically using two colors and bubble or block letters—more complex than a simple tag but less elaborate than a full piece. Throw-ups let artists cover more ground while still maintaining style and readability. They're the sweet spot between speed and artistic expression.
Example Usage
Someone threw up a massive piece on the overpass last night—must have taken all of five minutes.
