Drone Graffiti

The era of "drone graffiti" was ushered in on Wednesday when graffiti-artist KATSU used a drone to spray red lines on a Calvin Klein billboard in New York City. Wired says, "By all accounts, it is the first time that a drone has been deployed for a major act of public vandalism." KATSU says, "It turned out surprisingly well. It’s exciting to see its first potential use as a device for vandalism."

Now the gangs will have a new toy to spend their drug money on.

Put a noose on the "artist" and use his body to scrub it off. That would get him a lot of attention.

As someone who sold billboard space for years, nothing close to that size though, graffiti vandals, no criminals were the lowest of the low lifes. Many millions and millions of dollars were lost to these Neanderthal cave painters in the ad business. Those already eye sore ads were made that much more ugly by those empty headed spray can huffing thugs.

Not much of a design. Needs work. Lets see how future designs pan out.

I think we are entering the era of CAG (computer-aided graffiti). Imagine designing a stunning multi-color piece of graffiti, uploading it to your drone, and having it carried out with robotic precision.
