In the Tall, Tall Grass was the  first book in which Denise Fleming, used pulp painting as a medium.  “There is always an element of surprise in pulp painting, as I cannot completely control the blending of color and fiber. Each fiber retains its individual color–this and the layering of fiber create a feeling of depth in the finished painting.”  – Denise Fleming

Jay Hosler, writes and draws graphic novels that focus on natural history, evolution, and insects. Lots and lots of insects. His  goal is to use the compelling visual power of comics to illustrate the alien worlds that often go unnoticed and unappreciated.  Hosler is noted for using his storytelling as a means engaging the reader in scientific exploration & education, most notably in  his graphic novel, “The Last of the Sandwalkers.”

'6:07AM' was created by artist Mark Calloway, and the amazing help of volunteers, artists, families, and friends, as a project through Mankind Murals Inc a 501(c)3 Nonprofit. Thanks to the Richland County Foundation for the sponsorship of the Mural, to Richland Public Health for the Bench, to community leader Bill Baker for helping channel rainwater to the river, and to Lori Cope and the City of Mansfield for paving the erosion gap making it safer for bicyclists and runners. Let's all get together and celebrate our achievements, and continue improving this B&O Bike Trail Park!

Two areas of easy access:
North Lake Park, a leisurely .5 mile stroll or bike trip to the Mural Bridge from the Mansfield end of the Bike Trail.
Behind the Tyger Stadium Bus Garage on 4th Street, a small access route to the Bike Trail near the Mural Bridge.

Oh, and did we mention we're grilling?
Please let us know you'll attend!
See you at the Bike Trail!
