Reddit roundup: a Brooklyn mural, a 3-year cross-stitch and GTA III inside San Andreas
This week's best fan finds: a hand-painted San Andreas mural in Brooklyn, a Vice City cross-stitch with 64,000+ stitches, and a mod that rebuilds GTA III in San Andreas.
Fans did the heavy lifting again. Here's what the crew dug up this week.
A hand-painted San Andreas mural is still standing in Brooklyn, New York. u/ithepunisher posted it in r/GTA on Oct 21. A painted wall, in a real city, still there. Respect.

Now the patience award. u/Cwirasek says his wife spent almost 3 years cross-stitching the Vice City cover. The piece has over 64,000 stitches, which he put at more than 250,000 passes of the needle. Holy shit. He joked that she finished before GTA VI because she asked Rockstar to push the release back from May. Fair, honestly.
And for the ears: u/rndplace shared the San Andreas theme played live at a concert in Russia. Turn it up.

Smaller finds
- u/Ok_Pause_436 hand-painted a GTA VI design on a PS5 plate and plans to paint Jason on the other plate.
- u/nakatta66 showed an early demo of a mod that recreates the full GTA III storyline in San Andreas on the GTA Mixed map. You switch between CJ and Claude, and each keeps their own money, stats, weapons, progress, safehouses and garages. A custom C++ module translates the GTA III scripts into SA commands, and the credits go to the GTA Mixed team and tools like Sanny Builder, CLEO+, Mod Loader and Plugin-SDK. A full 1-hour video is on YouTube.
- u/seacowx went walking down Hove Beach, meaning the real Mohawk Ave area that inspired it, and photographed shops like the "Russian clothes store" and the subway station where Niko picks up Mallorie and Michelle.
- u/gulagsurvivor2019 posted unused GTA IV artwork by Stephen Bliss and Anthony Macbain (Oct 20).
- u/BizzyMane took photos of GTA III on an old 2006 camera, with project2dfx for lights, a first person mod, Upstate Liberty for the observatory and the "browse the cafe" mod for internet access.
