Abstract:

Friends and acquaintances within the Glasgow art scene were asked by the artist to draw a caricature of him. They were people who the artist thought might come to the show. They did the drawings. Some of the drawings were insulting and some of them were really flattering. The artist liked the flattering ones more but pretended to like the insulting ones. The caricatures were then silk-screened onto canvases and painted on in the style of Warhol/Basquiat collaboration works. The artist asked other people who came to the show to do a drawing of him for his next show. They all agreed.
