FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — A Fayetteville man is using his lawn as a creative outlet to show off his artistic abilities and celebrate the fact he will soon get a break from mowing his yard as winter approaches. 

Jay Phillips created a Pac-Man themed artwork at his home on Cline Avenue. 

He says he used about $30 worth of paint to make the creation. 

Phillips told 5NEWS it's become a tradition at his home to celebrate one of the last times he has to mow the lawn each season. 

"This world can be very hard and very cold. I feel it’s a privilege to be able to inject some joy, color and passion into it to compensate and make the world a teensy bit cheerier," he said.  

His 12-year-old son also helped cut the zig-zags with scissors. 

"He was really proud of how nicely that turned out and it totally made the look pop, he did such a good job," Phillips said.
