October is my favorite part of the year, the time when I make my annual trip to Northport Alabama & the Kentuck Festival of Arts. Over the years I have gotten to know many of the artist and the best part is that I now call many friends. This year, I finally got the chance to meet Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. of Kennedy Prints. Mr. Kennedy is a character... and I mean that in the best possible way. Of course his prints are wonderful, but he's what keeps you lingering. There's no shortage of laughter & fun in his booth.
I was very excited to try my hand at printing, and to be able to walk away with a poster that I printed. I also bought the "Okra is the People's Vegetable" poster. I believe it sums up my summer, and the massive amounts of okra we ate around here!
that is pretty cool!
