January – December 2022

As the Lockdown ended we took our first trip in a while, flying to Los Angeles for Billie Joe Armstrong’s 50th birthday party, and returned to Los Angeles a few weeks later for a book signing and exhibit at Morrison Hotel Gallery in the Sunset Marquis hotel. Photo shoots in New York with Nile Rodgers and Ryan Adams and an exhibition by Allison Mosshart and Jamie Hince of The Kills was followed by a trip to London for an exhibition at D’Stassi Art Gallery and then more fun and excitement in New York.
