The Story behind the project

During the early  90’s Kenny McKendry was commissioned to illustrate 13 images for a series of Steinbeck Novels being re-released in the UK at that time.

In March 2005 whilst recovering from a life saving operation, Kenny started to read other Steinbeck novels and was inspired to recreate the main characters. These 7 images together with the 13 original, form the set of 20 now on release as limited edition prints.
