Graffiti artist uses drone to tag Kendall Jenner billboard in New York
Published in Weird News
NEW YORK (UPI) -- A prominent New York graffiti artist shared video of his successful attempt to spray paint over Kendall Jenner's face on a prominent Calvin Klein billboard.
Graffiti artist KATSU, who previously garnered attention when he used a DJI Phantom drone to paint canvasses for white-wall galleries in 2014, used an updated version of the same concept to spray paint scribbles over model Jenner's face on the six-story-tall Manhattan billboard.
"It turned out surprisingly well," KATSU told Wired. It's exciting to see its first potential use as a device for vandalism.
However, KATSU said the graffiti drone is difficult to control.
"Seventy percent of the concentration is in maintaining this equilibrium with the two-dimensional surface while you are painting," he said.
KATSU said he plans to unveil a modified graffiti drone with greater ease of control "very soon."
