Kennedy quit his job and headed to the Bay Area. Using his friendly shark as a mobile billboard, he earned a number of commissioned projects, creating everything from the "Topsy-Turvy" school bus for Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's ice cream (made to protest military spending) to a giant whale for Nevada's 2001 Burning Man festival.
