Benjamin McDaniel, who calls himself The Pilot Picasso, just unveiled his new masterpiece: a GTA 6 mural drawn by flying his plane. Using flight path visualization systems, you can watch his entire journey and see the artwork come to life.
It’s kind of like an Etch A Sketch because it’s a continuous line from start to finish, which is part of what makes the feat so impressive. The other thing that makes it impressive is, you know, he kept the plane in the sky the entire time.
He took off from Bentonville (QTV) airstrip at 11.29am and landed back at the same airport at 19:37pm. It took him eight hours and eight minutes to complete the piece, which he traced in the sky with a Cessna Skylane RG. The feat was completed on November 5 and you can check it out on FlightRadar24. Here’s a tweet showcasing the finished thing:
The turns to make the alligator were the most fun to watch. Well done @thepilotpicasso.

The artwork showed the GTA 6 logo next to an alligator, palm trees, a sports car, and a bikini clad woman. A helicopter hovered above the logo.
His upcoming projects include a classical piece and a Thanksgiving piece. In a recent interview, he said, “Safety is number one. If bad weather rolls around, I push the flight to another day or another week.”
In October, The Pilot Picasso flew a route that traced out the Mona Lisa, and previously he also flew Edvard Munch’s The Scream. Previous pop culture artworks include The Lord of The Rings, Skyrim, and Spider-Man.
We’ve got plenty more on GTA 6 while you wait for its November 19 release date, including an unlikely gameplay reveal in the latest episode of South Park, how GTA 6 named one of its biggest mechanics after a beloved GTA 4 meme, and how GTA 6’s map will open up relatively early and let you explore freely.
Analysts expect GTA 6 will make over $5 billion in launch week alone, so expect it to fill your feeds for a few weeks. GTA 6 is scheduled to be released on November 19, 2026, for PS5 and Xbox Series X and S.
