3D street painter Rod Tryon was at the Coconut Grove Arts Festival where he created a refreshing and fun 3D street painting. I know the turn out at the festival was huge, but if you don't live in the Miami area or missed the live performance, we're glad to post some photos of Rod's work in progress!
