Kenneth
Jan 5th 2024 - By Rex Hohlbein
Kenneth holds a sign under the Ballard Bridge where Leary Way NW passes underneath. We got to chatting and made a quick friendly connection. He let me know he's an artist, that he's so far sold 41 pieces of his art while standing there!!! He then shared he had been in architecture school but had to drop out, had to make money, then things went sideways.
I told Kenneth I really liked his artwork, that I could see his interest in architecture showing itself. He smiled, and agreed. He then asked if I could bring him a protractor and a ruler. I said I would.
I would also like to surprise him with some other art supplies. If you want to be in on this surprise, please send sketch pads, colored pencils, pencil sharpener, spray fixative. or a white eraser to me. I'll make sure they get to Kenneth!
You can drop off or ship to: Rex Hohlbein c/o Kenneth 2025 East Howe Street, Seattle WA 98112. If you have questions, my phone is 206-330-1142.
If you see Kenneth standing there, by the side of the road, holding his sign, please lower your window and say something kind to him.
Heartfelt THANKS in advance to this caringCOMMUNITY!
LOVE.
