Hey Hey! I bet you didn't know this, but only 40 short, sweet minutes away resides Kennedy Prints! A Letterpress Printery.
We traveled to Gordo, Alabama last night to see our friend Amos Kennedy's new printing shop! New friend Laura Zinger was also there finishing up some filming for the documentary that she is making on him for Brown Finch Films. Peep the trailer: Proceed and Be Bold!!!
You know, if you are really interested in meeting him and seeing his shop, give him a virtual ring via email or show up during Gordo's Mule Day on June 7th where he will have his shop open and printing up a storm.
Check out more photos HERE! and HERE!
