Limited Edition Prints of Kannapolis Landmarks

                          by Kevin Eagle

In 2005, Kevin was looking for a way to get his art career going. He had asked a few architects and even Cotton Ketchie's wife how they got started. A lot of people had told Kevin that he should draw the mill before it was gone. In 2005, just before G.H. Griffin started gutting parts of the main office building, Kevin finished his Cannon Mills drawing. A few weeks after he finished a drawing of the old Kannapolis train depot. The next in the series would be the Cannon Mills smokestacks. The Gem Theatre followed in 2006. And in early 2008, Kevin finished his drawing of the Cannon Mills neon sign. The series is open and Kevin is not sure what the next drawing will be.
