The poster, which sees iconic Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh wearing an Adidas tracksuit with the words, 'Jist Gogh Hame', has been spotted in communities around Glasgow, such as Shawlands and in the West End.

"I drew the painting to a finish and it basically just exploded in the coming weeks and has grew arms and legs since.
