It was dark and quiet in the wee hours of last Wednesday morning at the intersection of Lafayette and Houston in NYC. Suddenly: a buzzing. The grafitti artist KATSU was taking his customized Phantom drone for its first vandalizing spin.

Outfitted with a spray can of red paint, KATSU's small, white drone hovered near a six-story Calvin Klein advertisement featuring the model and reality television star Kendall Jenner. And then, it began to draw.
