RIP: School Bus Artist Tom Kennedy

Tom Kennedy, the San Francisco-based artist/activist and father of Topsy Turvy, drowned over the weekend in San Francisco. Topsy Turvy (shown right) was a piece of school bus protest art designed to follow the 2008 presidential election and argue against what it’s designers considered the upside down spending priorities of the United States.
