Pictured is a bronze sculpture titled `A Hare`s Sequence: Route 66` by artist Christopher Novinski. It was installed December, 2020, in Lewisville, Texas. It is one of a series of life-sized bronze jackrabbit sculptures made into various anthropomorphic characters to portray historically significant events in Lewisville. The series is called `Hop Into History` and includes six sculptures in five locations throughout Old Town. `Love is a Skinny Kid,` an episode of the television drama `Route 66` that was filmed in Lewisville in 1962. Novinski’s director is dressed in an iconic beret-style hat and director’s vest and is positioned behind a vintage movie camera on a tripod. The sculpture is located in the same general area as the episode’s opening shot, at the corner of Church and Mill streets. The City engaged the University of North Texas College of Visual Arts and Design to create this the sculptures for this public art project. The sculpture concepts and clay modeling were completed by selected student artists, and the casting and finishing work on each sculpture was completed by David and Martin Iles of Bolivar Bronze.
