Rolling Stone Playlist Illos

DECEMBER 1, 2010
Here a few portraits for Rolling Stone's current Playlist Issue.
They asked over 50 artists to pick their personal top ten of the music they love most. Can be either a whole genre or their top ten from another band / musician. Conceptually that was not really a whole lot to work with, so clearly here the focus is on the likenesses. Sizes range from spots to half pagers. Fun gig...always a pleasure to work with those guys...
