The Republican Journal, January 22, 2004
"To see it face to face is a world away from looking at a two dimensional reproduction, and I urge people to go and see the stuff in person."

The Republican Journal, June 20, 2002
"The fact that the back of the canvas is as important as the front carries with it an impression that there is a compulsion to explore all sides of a story, and Cole does it with great imagination."

The Camden Herald, October 18, 2001
"The...exhibition is so pure in intent and execution that it restores ones faith in the idea of art as genuine, relevant and sustaining to the human spirit,..."

Casco Bay Weekly, April 2, 1998
"The somewhat lurid, somewhat hysterical, watercolor and inks by Kenny Cole are reminiscent of editorial cartoons; titles such as "The Last Time Tim Ever Drank & Drove" and "Belfast Bays Festival" evoke their rustic character."

The Waldo Independent, February 13, 1997
"His quirky, narrative technique calls innocence to mind, while the imagery crackles with warnings...They are wacky but serious fun where the laughs sometimes hurt."

The Waldo Independent, August 31, 1995
"Cole's highly graphic, deceptively "untutored" and loopy, folk art or cartoon style...brings a raw humor to the world's aches..."

The New York Times, September 11, 1994
"Kenny Cole contributes 16 large...watercolors that comment on major issues like that of pollution and the vicissitudes of daily life"

Staten Island Advance, July 24, 1994
"Kenny Cole...often depict(s) dire or humorous situations and they look rather like a collaboration by Roz Chast, Charles Addams and R. Crumb."

Staten Island Advance, April 8, 1990
"...Cole's work has an appealing rawness."

The New York Times, March 25, 1990
"The two Artists one must spend the most time with are Kenny Cole and Steven Harvey. Both are obsessive. Mr. Cole paints and draws on both sides of his supports,... His works are more than this device, however; the imagery flows tantalizingly between realism and abstraction."

The Sunday Star Ledger,September 23, 1984
"Bizarre creatures, mysterious glyphs and twisting forms interact in the graphite works by Ken Cole."
