Tom Kennedy, national and international legendary art car artist,
passed away Easter weekend. He drown in the Pacific Ocean while
swimming. His art car life started here in Houston with
Ripper the Friendly Shark, but the story doesn't end there.

Thank you Eric Kolflat for the wonderful documentary film made
in Tom's memory. It was shown on Friday night, at Houston Art
Car Weekend's event, Sneak Peek, at Discovery Green.
A Viking Ship processional ended the evening with 5 ships sailing
in the Pond, burning our blessings, thoughts and notes to those
we've lost this past year.
Gone, but never forgotten, you will be missed my friend.
