Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.

A man with his feet planted firmly in the past, Amos Kennedy is a letterpress printer, papermaker and builder of artist's books. His work embodies his passion for stirring up strong emotions and encouraging people to think in previously unexplored ways.

Only his friends know that in a past life he was a computer programmer and can thus juggle digital and analog at will. In addition to his work as a bookbuilder, he is an educator and performance artist and currently occupies a Rural Studio constructed building in Akron, Alabama. Some of his books include: the Mask Book, the Riddle Book, Charm/Snake book, the Cryptics book (first of a series). Visit his site at www.kennedyprints.com
