By night you'll be on the lookout to harvest 'red paint' from one of the 'walking meat-bags' to help you create original 2D art. Sell your artwork to art galleries for huge profits! Become rich from your unique artwork while avoiding capture from the ever growing police presence using stealth techniques and unique traps.
