2 of his 3 murals in Massillon highlight an aspect of the city's history.  The 3rd is just sort of nostalgic, and the faces are the faces of real local people.

There are several murals in downtown Massillon.  I think they're great, and I think they actually draw tourists.

Where in Ohio is the mural below located?

I don't know how others feel, but to me public art makes some areas of a city more appealing.  Should the City of Youngstown establish a program to commission public art projects in select locations throughout the community?
