For more on GRAFFTOYZ go to http://grafftoyz.com Artist's statement - With the combination of many years in graphic design, a background in graffiti art and a fascination with images from the past, Jay uses iconic imagery such as classic cars and pin up girls and places them within abstract environments that contain a graffiti influence. This combination creates an interesting contrast of aesthetics.
