Felipe Pantone’s first VR graffiti video was a ‘PANT1’ tagged onto a virtual brick wall and took the artist 45 minutes to complete.

This was achieved using a VR graffiti simulator called Kingspray KingSpray Graffiti on Oculus.

For the second video, Felipe Pantone stepped it up a gear by painting a virtual white truck in his colourful geometric style…
