I was lucky enough to get to meet Tom Kennedy this last winter when he visited the Art Shanty Project. Right off the bat, you could tell this guy was something great. Denis the menace grin and a twinkle in his eye. Tom is responsible for many amazing art cars and political pranks. I just saw over on Boing Boing that he had passed away.
On February 13th, 2009, Tom posted this responce to recieving a Mt. Holly Good Luck Decoder badge.
Dear Mayor, Your frozen dice game was superb! Greetings from Tom Kennedy (www.tomkennedyart.com), who met you on the ice. I am back in San Francisco, and really appreciate your gift. Is it a decoder and will I get sent secret messages? When we make art boats and float down the Mississippi, you should consider floating dice!
I hope it was not defective, Tom. May it serve you well in the next world.
Anyone who can put me in touch with those art boat folks, let me know. I do indeed have a dice I'd like to float.
