Craftsman of Perfection+Polish

 Dko2What do you do after you've worked in advertising for years but decided to retire at age 55? For advertising legend David Kennedy, you start another career from scratch: making sculptures. It's been a slow, steady ascent, a career 15 years in the making. 

Thanks DK Row for capturing in words the life of a man we all adore. Check out the huge 3 Page article in Sunday's Oregonian or Oregonlive.com

Dan connects with Grant High School students

GrantHighSchool-0828A herd of high school students came in last week to be inspired by Dan as he talked about the great work we have done with our long standing partnership with Nike. One future employee asked "How old do you have to be to work here"

Heavy Metal Artist David Kennedy

Our very own David Kennedy is a man of many talents and tales.
Hang around him for just a bit and you will be treated to many
 surprises. Sure he has proven his abilities in the art of advertising, (he is in fact in the Advertising Hall Of Fame) but he is also skilled in the finer arts- as a sculptor. David is a modest man and it took some coaxing but we were fortunate to convince him to share with us his passion for working with metal. The opening night was a splendid affair and many people got their first small glimpse at just what Kennedy is up to in his many daily doings. The show will be up for the month of November, viewing times are M-F from 9a-5p.
