Romero Britto Water Park (Pictures)

ABOVE: A Romero Britto-Inspired Water Slide at Grapeland Park in Miami, FL.

I was impressed with the blue building branded by Britto on I-95, but this takes the cake - A Romero Britto Water Park near Miami International Airport.

Grapeland Heights Park is a city of Miami public park that recently underwent renovations to many areas. The park located at 1550 NW 37th Ave, did lose itâ€™s tennis courts and a soccer field but itâ€™s gained Miamiâ€™s only water park.

Partially designed by local Miami art slut Britto (and I call him an art slut only because his stuff is everywhere from airport employee uniforms to bay side structures), the new water park looks Seussical!

Now we have a place for travelers to go with an extra long layover at the Airport.

This guy is taking over every industry. What is next, Britto?

I used to love his art, but I got annoyed by seeing them in every places. Don’t get me wrong I still like him but not that much.

I was surprised and happy to see Romero BrittoÂ´s work all around the pool area in the cruise ship “Mariner of the Seas” when I cruised to the Bahamas last September 2008. Congratulations !

Miami pop artist Romero Britto bonded out of jail Thursday night after being arrested and accused of DUI in Miami Beach earlier in the morning.

According to the Miami Beach police report, Britto was pulled over shortly after 3:00 a.m. in the 500 block of Washington Avenue while driving his black Bentley. The report also indicated he was given a breathalyzer test and blew a .161 and .158 which is twice the legal limit of .08. This information was confirmed by Jenny Velazquez of the Miami Beach Police Department.

“I feel very embarrassed about the whole thing; l think drinking is not good,” said Britto. “I had a few drinks, and that’s what happened.”

The police report states that arresting officer, P. Socarras, witnessed Britto weaving while driving in the southbound lanes of Washington Avenue.

Socarras wrote in his report that Britto “crossed into the left lane on three separate occasions and on the third time almost struck another vehicle which was in that lane.” Britto also “drifted into the right lane almost striking a parking vehicle,” states the report.

After pulling Britto over, Officer Socarras described Britto as having “a flushed face, bloodshot watery eyes, slurred speech and a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage on his breath.”

In addition, the report states “he did not perform to standards” in a roadside sobriety test. Britto even stated to the officer at one point, “Officer, I live across the bridge, give me a break.”

Britto was arrested on the scene and transported to the Miami Beach Police Department for further processing.
