The graffiti artists they have always been misunderstood artists by society. On the one hand, it is undeniable to accept that most of them create art. But, on the other hand, his canvases are usually the walls of the street. That's why, for many people, graffiti artists are not artists, but vandals. This way of being pointed with the finger has haunted them all their lives, since separating these artists from the walls is the equivalent of asking them to draw with charcoal, that is, it would be forcing them to stop being graffiti artists. Well, if you love the world of graffiti, open your eyes wide, because it opens a world of possibilities for your hobby thanks to the metaverse.
Graffiti without sprays or walls
If you've ever watched an artist using some kind of new technology, like an iPad Pro, you've come to the conclusion that oil does not make the painter, since a skilled person in the plastic arts is capable of making a painting with total creative freedom and without limitations using a program like Procreate.
Well then, following the same logic, if oil, watercolors or temperas do not make the painter, thens neither the spray nor the wall make the graffiti artist. Everything resides in the mind and hands of the artist. And it is what he has shown Gabe Gault on his Instagram account. making use of some vr glasses and software Kingspray Graffiti Simulator (available on Oculus and on Steam), the artist has been able to show that he can perform any work you can imagine without leaving home, and without splashing paint on a single wall in his living room.

GabeGault wears some Oculus Rift S next to the controls that come standard and software to simulate graffiti to produce works with impressive quality in the metaverse. And it is that, although Zuckerberg could do us something funny when he announced that his group would focus from now on the metaverse, the truth is that examples like this give a lot to think about. Even the artist himself feels surprised in one of his first videos when you realize the potential of this solution of virtual reality for artists.
Is he coming graffiti not expendable?
But that is not all. The works that he does in Kingspray Graffiti Simulator they can be exported and viewed on other VR devices. Looking at his profile, we know that GabeGault already sells all kinds of works that are traded in the form of NFTs in markets like OpenSea. That is why we have no doubt that the artist will not miss the opportunity to sell his virtual walls to those who want to get one in exchange for some Ethreum. At the moment, he has uploaded this video in which he creates a NFT wall in collaboration with another artist.

Virtual reality, metaverse and NFTs. All in one. If you just woke up from a coma, or you don't follow technological news very much, surely all this seems Chinese to you. GabeGault considers himself a VR painter and muralist, which is hard to fathom until you see his Instagram feed or his TikTok account. We are left wanting to know how this boy explains to his grandparents what he does with his life, because without a doubt, he would make a documentary on Netflix.
