Thank You, Kenny Rogers

Remembering Kenny Rogers on his passing. Lawrence and I are grateful for his music and ever grateful for the opportunity to have commemorated his story with a 50th birthday collage. We spoke to 60 of Kenny’s family and friends to get photos and ideas for the art. And what an amazing journey. From on-site research at his farm in Athens, Georgia to Los Angeles for a spectacular birthday party—with Dolly Parton performing—and the surprise presentation.

Kenny Rogers was also One-Of-A-Kind. The songs live on. RIP.
