Mark Cline is an American artist and entertainer. Inspired by monster and science fiction films, he produces foam and fiberglass figures and fantasy characters for attractions and cities.[1]
Cline has described Foamhenge as his greatest achievement.[2] Cline's work appears in attractions across Virginia, including a concentration of works in and around Natural Bridge, where he works out of Enchanted Castle Studios. His studio appears in the Roadside America books and website.[3]
He often displays creations on April Fools' Day.[4]
Cline was born in Waynesboro, Virginia, where in 1987 he unsuccessfully lobbied city council to erect a 60-foot bust of "Mad" Anthony Wayne atop the city's capped landfill.[5]
Cline was often featured in The News Virginian.[6] He completed a mural just outside city limits on a train bridge over U.S. Route 250.
In 2001, a "suspicious" fire destroyed much of Cline's studio.[7]
