BONUS: 'Grand Theft Auto V' On a Beautiful Mural in NYC
A painter finishes up the facial details of Trevor, a main character in the new Grand Theft Auto V game.
The mural uses script typography for the name Trevor, one of the main characters in the new Grand Theft Auto V game.
The mural will take approximately a week to complete. Artists expect to finish it this Friday, Aug. 30.
The painters use Photoshop renderings as reference for the mural.
The mural is being painted on the wall behind the Win Restaurant Equipment Center on Houston and Lafayette Streets in New York City.
The wall being painted is about 75 feet by 13 feet.
According to one painter, murals are more meaningful than printed materials because the process is a performance.
Oil-based enamel paints have richer more vibrant colors than printed advertising materials, like billboards.
The mural is painted in the Fresco Secco style, using oil-based enamel paint.
The painters have to match the colors on the concept art to the ones used on the mural by eye.
