Rolling Stone and the Art of the Record Review, Pt. 2: Senior Art Director Steven Charny

Rolling Stone senior art director Steven Charny is the guy responsible for assigning the lead record review illustration that appears in every issue of the magazine. Under the direction of RS art director Joe Hutchinson, Charny continues the long tradition of one of the premier editorial spotlights for illustrators. A great collection of 40 years of Rolling Stone illustrated portraits is now on display at the Society of Illustrators (through October 22). Tonight, October 5, at 6.30pm, the Society presents An Evening with Rolling Stone Magazine Senior Art Director Steven Charny. He'll be presenting lots of wonderful work, as well as discussing the creative process, and showing off lots of behind-the-scenes sketches. This is an essential evening for anyone interested in illustration. Charny answered some questions for SPD, and shared some of his favorite recent illustrations from the magazine, on the jump page.
