"PLAYTIME"
by Jason Jones
"The landscape concept that I created for this project, reflects that feeling of play and risk. The large playful wagon contains the landmarks of downtown Fiddling Rock. It's the overarching idea that nosotros should all be encouraged to play and explore the area. Play brings a sense of joy and whimsy that tin't be replicated past any other action. The thought is to share those aforementioned feelings of joy and whimsy with the bright color palette and the oversized children's carriage containing blocks, which are actually downtown landmarks. That spark of playfulness, we had as children, volition come alive in the painting, while incorporating the of import buildings and landmarks that make the downtown special and unique." — Jason Jones, Artist

"MIGRATION"
by Guy Bell
"Some of the oldest artwork on Earth was drawn on cave walls. Many cave paintings were visual descriptions of the animals that tribesmen hunted to survive. In creating these ancient pieces, early humans left backside a record of who they were equally a people. We modernistic humans withal like to leave marks backside. This mural is meant to evoke the spirit of artistic expression from ancient days upwardly until now. In some ways, the concrete of this parking deck is similar to the walls of a cave. Using the bison, a popular subject in ancient art, this slice imagines how the aboriginal eye might come to understand our mod lives. The bison's eyes are illuminated like motorcar headlights. The thought backside this is that as we wait dorsum on the by in wonder, the spirits of the ancients also still inspire us. This piece seeks to celebrate the shared lineage of all living people through our most ancient ancestors, the bond we share through cosmos, and the desire to leave our private marker." — Guy Bong, Artist

"Esse Purse Museum owner Anita Davis commissioned me to pigment this mural in 2012 on the museum'southward north wall. She wanted a brilliant and fun mural with a skillet of cornbread (to tie into the Arkansas Cornbread Festival) and cosmic fruits & veggies that took inspiration from a vintage game called Infinite Faces. When drawing the mural, I imagined Cosmo "the cornbread human" (and the Arkansas Cornbread Festival mascot) singing to all the fruits & veggies with the BEEPS (Black-eyed peas) as back-upward singers." — Steven Otis, Artist
