Kenny Johnson

Location: 400 E. 17th, Kansas City, Missouri 64108 .

Duration: Around five years .

Staff: Two. Education: Associate Degree in commercial art, Mom, Dad, Michael Rush (my mentor) .

Cultural Influences: I feel like my life is culture . Everything you touch , see and feel are really the things that make you who you are.

(God, family, music, film, cartoon Friday, magazines, just life .)

2

Environment: I think it's amazing how much you can learn from just doing the things you do, constantly re -honing the skills that you may already possess . Mostly, I see my work space as a relatively calm place to do work, photographically communicate solutions in hopefully what are appropriate terms for that particular situation . Words to describe the environment: energetic, peaceful, calm, fun .

Philosophy: If you build it, they will come .
