| John Cerney has been creating these larger than life, painted plywood figures since 1995. The earliest of these are heroic tributes to farmers and field workers near Cerney's hometown of Salinas, CA. Over the years, he has been commissioned to create hundreds of "cut-out murals" for display around the country. The figures are roughly 18 feet tall and depict real people. For more, see these websites: 1, 2,, and 3. |
