Vice: What’s going on here?

Vice: What’s going on here?

Kate:

I drew lots of people, including you.

Which one am I?

The one in the lower right, here.

OK.

I tried to get your lovely smile!

Are you in here?

I’m in the corner, I think.

Vice: This is the second self-portrait that’s turned into a cock-man we’ve had today.

Will:

I know, they were collaborative efforts.

I’m not going to ask what that means. He seems sad.

He’s just troubled, that’s all.

.

Vice: If it was anyone else I would say this was too simple, but it actually works with you.

Rory:

I’m a smiley guy.

You sure are.

Also, I’ve been drinking on antibiotics.

That explains a lot.

Vice: Oh my goodness. What is happening here?

John:

Wait, wait, wait.

OK. [We wait] Oh my goodness.

OK, done.

Does this represent you?

It represents a penis-man holding his own penis.

Vice: What’s your name?

Ellie:

Ellie.

Are you an art student?

Yeah, I study fashion history.

Tell me a little bit about fashion history.

Where can you start? We learn about where fashion comes from. I’m more of a 20th century girl. I’m a fan of Balenciaga and all that jazz.

How do you like it?

Loving it. We keep being, like, “Stella McCartney pissed in these toilets!”

Vice: Can you say your name?

Katie:

I’m Katie.

I like your nose.

I don’t think I’m drawing myself. I think I’m drawing someone I’d like to look like.

It will do. Are you a student as well?

Yeah, on the same course as Ellie. We’re freshers. Hang on, I’ve got to just pop some boobs in there for good measure.

Vice: Hi Liz!

Liz:

Hello.

I see you’ve got a bow in this.

Yep.

But you don’t have one in real life.

I know, but I think it’s pretty.

Vice: What’s your name?

Luke:

My alias is “Evermean”.

Neat. Is your hat part of your identity?

Basically, yeah. I always wear a hat.

Is it to keep your head warm or for fashion?

I don’t really know. It’s a comfort thing. I’ve always got really fucked hair.

Vice: Are you a student?

Phoebe:

Um, yeah, I think I am.

It looks a little bit like a baby.

That’s just supposed to be my hat. Maybe I should draw some fringe. No, now that just looks like baby hair.

Vice: Ha, I don’t really have many questions about this one.

Linsey:

No, it’s pretty straightforward.

Boobs and Linsey.

That about summarises it, yeah.

Vice: Tell me about what you’re doing here.

Susan:

Well, I’ve got dark hair.

Your hair looks much more orderly in real life.

Thanks.

Vice: So, you’re a designer around here?

Mark:

We’ve actually worked with

Vice

before.

Oh goodness, lucky you! Well, what are you doing here with this portrait?

I’m drawing my hair and eating noodles.

The noodles are not in the picture.

No, they’re not really that important.
