Someone decided to \u201cdecorate\u201d the promotional art with their own creation.

As the release of Grand Theft Auto VI approaches, the marketing campaign is ramping up. Real-life Miami has already seen locations rebranded in Vice City style, and murals have also begun appearing in several cities.

Such eye-catching advertising attracts the attention of various people, including some street artists. Recently, people online noticed that one of the Grand Theft Auto VI murals did not even last a month—it was “decorated” with extra graffiti.

A photo of a Brooklyn mural tagged with “JELOUS” went viral on social media, shared by graffiti artist Jelous.ktd. The lettering is located at the bottom of the artwork and covers Lucia’s legs, but the upper part of the heroine remains untouched, and Jason was not painted over either. The “Grand Theft Auto” logo was left untouched—the artist simply made a loud statement about himself.

The Grand Theft Auto VI mural was created by Colossal Media, a company specializing in hand-painted wall murals. This promo art for the Rockstar Games title was painted by hand, taking the specialists about 7 days; all work was completed on October 10.

The release of Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S consoles.
