Dumperfoo, the venerable statesman of the "Arizona Hip Hop, Art, and Social scene", takes in the splendor of over a thousand rattle cans being deployed in unison at Paint Phx 2016.

For the third year running, Paint Phx, the outdoor mural and paint expo, descended on the major cultural thoroughfares of downtown Phoenix. Featuring dozens of artists from out of state as well as hometown favorites, including Lalo Cota and Angel Diaz, the days long event was a celebration of acrylic aerosolized paint particles. Paint Phx 2016, like any good graffiti gathering, was chockablock with color, sound, smell, and drama.
