As the clock struck midnight and fireworks lit up the sky, the iconic Graffiti Bridge in Pensacola showcased a bold and powerful message to welcome 2025: “Don’t Drink & Drive.” This striking mural, brought to life by local artists RodManVisions and Lucky, combines vibrant artistry with a message that resonates deeply as we begin a new year.
RodManVisions, known for his intricate designs and bold use of color, has made his mark on Pensacola’s graffiti culture for years. Partnering with Lucky, another talented local artist, the duo created a masterpiece that’s both visually stunning and socially impactful.

The backdrop of celebratory fireworks and festive colors contrasts with the sobering imagery of a tipped wine glass, spilled keys, and a car with a DUI plate.
