Drew Friedman: Keith Richards's Malady

Rolling Stones legend Keith Richards is quoted in the September 2011 Reader's Digest.
"I'm free of hypochondria--although I have everything else." Drew Friedman's illustration shows the aging Stones guitarist diagnosing himself with a stethoscope. Friedman must have been an obvious choice for this assignment, given the musician's copious wrinkles and this caricaturist's trademark affinity for them.

The original artwork was offered on eBay back in 2012 by the Scott Eder Gallery. The bidding rose to $2,425, but the reserve was not met.

A new exhibition, "Drew Friedman's Old Jewish Comedians," is being shown at the Society of Illustrators in New York. The opening reception is tonight.

This is the right hat, but it isn't the right reference photo.
