CINCINNATI (FOX19) - An artist whose paintbrush is a pair of scissors is coming to the Tri-State in June.

Tim Arnold, the "Silhouette Man", will be visiting area Dillard's stores from June 13 to 18.

His specialty is in cutting out incredibly detailed silhouettes while his models wait.  His work is displayed all over the world; at one time, one was at the White House.  Most of his subjects are children whose images he created as he tours the country.

Arnold was born in Cincinnati and grew up in Hamilton.  We don't yet have the individual dates and hours for the Dillard's appearances.

SHARONVILLE, OH (FOX19) - Ken, long-time beau of Mattel's Barbie, is now 50 years old.

Though the age hardly shows in Ken's manly and handsome plastic features, Mattel has seen fit to give the toy icon a makeover or two over the years.  Millions appreciate his always up-to-date fashion sense.

FAIRFIELD (FOX19) - It's the best of times and the worst of times for people filling up on gasoline in Butler County.

After many stations around the Tri-State raised their prices to $3.59 (plus .009) Friday, very few of them kept them at that level. It appears many stations east of Hamilton along Route 4 from Fairfield to Monroe didn't raise their prices at all, according to cincygasprices.com, and they were generally lower on Monday than they were before the price hike.

Regular prices at stations in that stretch were running from $3.22 to $3.29 after 2 p.m. Monday.
